Can a quick ultrasound spot lung trouble in sickle cell patients?

NCT ID NCT06880679

First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple bedside ultrasound (called POCUS) can help doctors quickly diagnose acute chest syndrome, a serious lung complication, in children and young adults with sickle cell disease. About 30 hospitalized patients aged 0-25 will take part. The goal is to see if POCUS is as reliable as a chest X-ray and if it's easy to use in a hospital setting.
