Summary

This study looks at whether a simple, non-invasive ultrasound of the diaphragm can help predict which older adults (75+) with sudden shortness of breath will develop severe breathing failure. Researchers will measure diaphragm movement and thickness in 145 emergency patients and track who needs a breathing machine or dies from breathing problems within 7 days. The goal is to see if this quick test can guide doctors to provide faster, better care.
