Quick scan could tell ER doctors who needs a ventilator
NCT ID NCT02273687
Summary
This study tested if a simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) could help doctors in the emergency room. Researchers scanned 104 patients who arrived with severe breathing trouble but were still breathing on their own. The goal was to see if the scan results could predict which patients would need a ventilator to help them breathe within the first 4 hours of care.
