Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective is to assess the validation of the diagnosis early acute pulmonary edema in elderly patients with acute respiratory distress, admitted in a host of vital emergency services by lung ultrasound associated with the measurement of the inferior vena cava.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention lung ultrasound

All patients will have strategy with lung ultrasoundlung ultrasound

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Strategy with lung ultrasound

Intervention Type DEVICE

Each patient admitted for suspicion of acute lung edema will be treated according to the protocol of the emergency department.

Another doctor will independently do a lung ultrasound and measurement of the inferior vena cava. The ultrasound results are not made available to the doctor in charge of the patient.

At the end of the study, all the files will be analyzed by a independent committee, blinded ultrasound results for the final diagnosis of acute pulmonary edema.
