Comparison of Three Scores for Ultrasound Assessment and Monitoring of Pulmonary Aeration

NCT02450825 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 77

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to compare three ultrasound-based aeration scores that were previously validated in specific populations, and to assess their correlation with computed tomographic measurement of pulmonary aeration in a population with different pathologies.

Hypothesis: The "Loss of Aeration Score" will be more accurate than a simplified version and another widely used score, the "Lung Ultrasound Score".

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Lung ultrasound examination on Day 1 and Day 2 to 4

A standardized lung ultrasound examination using the GE Vivid ultrasound system will be performed following the tomographic scan on Day 1 and repeated on Day 2 to 4. Correlation of ultrasound-based aeration scores will be done with lung aeration measured by computed tomographic images.

PROCEDURE

Lung ultrasound examination on Day 1

A standardized lung ultrasound examination using the GE Vivid ultrasound system will be performed following the tomographic scan on Day 1 only. Correlation of ultrasound-based aeration scores will be done with lung aeration measured by computed tomographic images.

DEVICE

GE Vivid Ultrasound system

The GE Vivid ultrasound system will be used for all lung ultrasound examinations performed in this study.
