Lung ultrasound for severe breathing trouble
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound on the lungs helps emergency doctors make faster, more accurate diagnoses for patients with severe shortness of breath.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are being treated by a prehospital emergency team (like an ambulance or mobile emergency unit)
- You have severe shortness of breath, with oxygen levels below 90% (or need oxygen to keep them above 90%) and a breathing rate higher than 25 breaths per minute

This trial tests whether using lung and heart ultrasound (LuCUS) can help emergency doctors better diagnose and treat shortness of breath in patients over 65. It aims to improve care for older adults with severe breathing problems.
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 trial studies whether a quick bedside ultrasound exam (done in the emergency department) adds useful information when people arrive with sudden breathing difficulty. It may help clinicians choose the right next steps faster and safer.
This study tests how well a computer-guided ultrasound method can quickly identify the cause of sudden breathing difficulty in the emergency room. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions for treatment.
This trial tests a new ultrasound method to quickly find the cause of breathing trouble or chest pain in the emergency room. It seeks patients who can sit up and are stable enough to participate.
This study tests if ultrasound of your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can help doctors find the cause of sudden breathing trouble. It may help patients who come to the emergency room with fast or difficult breathing and low oxygen levels.
