Simple scan could warn doctors of Post-Surgery breathing crisis

NCT ID NCT03289975

Summary

This study aimed to see if a bedside lung ultrasound could help doctors identify which patients are at high risk for serious breathing problems after major abdominal or urinary surgery. Researchers followed 165 patients in intensive care after their operations. They used the ultrasound to measure fluid in the lungs, hoping to find an early warning sign for respiratory distress.
