Ultrasound to monitor breathing problems in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your lungs are working while you are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors adjust your breathing treatment more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been diagnosed with acute respiratory insufficiency (trouble breathing that started suddenly).
- You do not have severe chest injuries or other conditions that would make ultrasound difficult.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 40.

This study uses a special ultrasound to check how evenly the lungs are working in babies who need breathing support. It helps doctors understand if this type of ultrasound can guide care for newborns with breathing problems.
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 study is testing whether a simple lung ultrasound score can help predict how well people in the intensive care unit with breathing failure will do. If you're in the ICU with low oxygen levels, this research might help doctors better understand your condition.
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.
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 lung ultrasound—a safe, painless imaging test—to help doctors guide breathing support and surfactant treatment for newborns. It may help your baby's lungs work better with fewer complications.
