Simple scan could warn doctors of looming breathing crisis in seniors

NCT ID NCT07132268

Summary

This study is testing if a quick, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) can help doctors predict which elderly patients arriving at the emergency room with sudden shortness of breath will get worse and need a breathing machine. It will involve 145 patients aged 75 and older. The goal is to see if this scan, added to standard checks, can help identify high-risk patients earlier.
