Ultrasound to measure air speed from lungs
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (pulsed echo Doppler) to measure how fast air moves out of your lungs during a breathing test. It aims to understand lung function better, which may help people with certain lung conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had two or more collapsed lungs or a lung-sealing procedure in the past.

This study tests if a quick ultrasound can help doctors figure out why you are having trouble breathing when you come to the emergency room. It may lead to faster and more accurate care.
This study looks at whether lung ultrasound results can help predict delirium and other outcomes in older adults admitted with breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition.
This study tests whether using ultrasound on the lungs helps emergency doctors make faster, more accurate diagnoses for patients with severe shortness of breath.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This trial compares a new ultrasound breathing test (spirometry) to the standard one. If you have a chronic lung condition like COPD or asthma, it could help see if the new method is as good as the old one.
This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
