Lung Ultrasound Changes in Covid 19 Patients Discharged From Hospital

NCT05062603 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 23

Last updated 2021-10-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lung ultrasound has been used to help diagnose COVID-19 as an alternative to CT scanning and chest X-ray. CT scanning is onerous and there are difficulties taking critically unwell patients there as well as decontamination issues.

Chest X-ray misses up to 40% of COVID diagnoses. Although lung ultrasound can diagnose, the investigators do not know how long these lung ultrasound changes last. The investigators would like to follow up patients to characterise the pattern of changes and how long they last. This is particularly important given a potential second surge of COVID-19 is looming and the investigators would like to know if lung ultrasound changes are new or old in patients presenting during this second wave and in the future.
