Summary

This study looks at whether a bedside ultrasound of a large vein (the inferior vena cava) can help emergency doctors quickly tell if a patient's breathing trouble is caused by fluid buildup in the lungs from heart failure or from another cause. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with sudden breathing problems and compare ultrasound results with standard tests. The goal is to improve early diagnosis and treatment decisions.
