NCT ID NCT07351201
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how raising the head of the bed changes lung movement in 31 healthy adults aged 18 to 60. Researchers used a painless ultrasound to measure lung sliding at three different bed angles: flat, 20 degrees, and 40 degrees. The goal is to help doctors position patients with breathing problems more safely in emergency and intensive care settings.
