Trainee ultrasound may outshine X-Ray for detecting collapsed lungs
NCT ID NCT06022081
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether a lung ultrasound done by a medical trainee can detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) as well as a chest X-ray after a chest tube is removed. About 60 heart surgery or trauma patients will get both tests, and the ultrasound results will be compared to the X-ray reads by expert radiologists. If ultrasound proves reliable, it could offer a safer, cheaper, and less painful way to diagnose this serious complication.
