Ultrasound tests to monitor breathing in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether ultrasound scoring methods can better monitor breathing problems in ICU patients. If you have sudden breathing trouble while in the intensive care unit, doctors will use special ultrasound techniques to see how your lungs are working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are admitted to the Susak ICU (a specific intensive care unit)
- You have been diagnosed with sudden, severe breathing problems that started in the hospital

This study uses a special lung ultrasound to look at how well a baby's lungs are working. It is for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need help breathing. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can give doctors useful information.
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
This trial tests whether a simple lung ultrasound score can help predict outcomes in ICU patients with acute respiratory failure. It may help identify patients who need more intensive care or a different treatment plan.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
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 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.
