Diaphragm response in elderly for acute monitoring
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a quick ultrasound to check how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) is working during a breathing emergency. It helps doctors better understand your condition and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 75 years old or older.
- You came to the emergency room because of sudden trouble breathing.
- You need an emergency ultrasound of your chest (to look at your diaphragm).
- You are not currently too sick to need a breathing machine or high-flow oxygen right away.
- You do not have a known paralyzed diaphragm or a muscle disease that affects breathing.

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.
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 uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
This study tests a new way to measure how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) is working using ultrasound imaging. Researchers want to see if this measurement method works reliably in patients who are on breathing support.
This trial studies how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) works during a severe COPD flare, using an ultrasound scan. It may help doctors better assess breathing muscle performance when COPD symptoms suddenly worsen.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) is working while you are on a ventilator. The goal is to help doctors set the breathing machine more accurately to make it easier for you to breathe on your own.
