Ultrasound tool may Fine-Tune breathing therapy in hospital patients
NCT ID NCT06412081
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a bedside lung ultrasound can help physiotherapists change their treatment plans for hospitalized adults with sudden breathing issues. About 30 participants will get an ultrasound, and researchers will see how often it leads to a different therapy approach. The goal is to improve care without extra radiation from X-rays.
