Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A recent study on CT performance in suspected CAP found that 58% of classifications were modified by CT when compared with usual procedure. However, extended CT usage in CAP diagnosis is associated with many limitations :
availability in a majority of ED, delay, cost and irradiation, in particular In young patients.
Lung Ultrasound (LUS) has good performances in CAP diagnosis even when compared with CT. It is a rapid, inexpensive, radiation-free tool available in a majority of ED. It is performed at the patient's bedside with immediate results. The learning curve allows Emergency Physicians (EP) to perform this exam after a relative brief training.
The Investigators aim to investigate LUS performances in clinically suspected CAP authentication , and assesses specific diagnostic contributions and impact on antibiotic prescriptions .
