No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective of the study is to create a small dataset of regional pulmonary strain values in patients suffering from pulmonary diseases under mechanical ventilation in an intensive care setting.

Hypothesis: The analysis of lung ultrasonographic sequences using speckle-tracking allows the determination of local pleural strain in 4 predetermined pulmonary areas in mechanically ventilated patients suffering from pulmonary diseases.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation Complication
  • Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Lung ultrasonography

Mechanically ventilated patients suffering from pulmonary diseases will undergo a lung ultrasonography during their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU)
