Brief Summary

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

This study assesses the potential of lung ultrasonography to diagnose heart failure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dyspnea is one of the most distressing situations for the patient . Emergency cases do not always present in conditions that are ideal for immediate diagnosis, which sometimes compromises outcome. Physical examination, laboratory findings and radiography are imperfect, resulting in a need for sophisticated test results that delay management.

Lung ultrasonography is becoming a standard tool in critical cases in the ED.

the investigators aim to perform ultrasonography on consecutive patients admitted to the ICU with dyspnea, comparing lung ultrasonography results on initial presentation with the final diagnosis by the nurses.

Three items were assessed: artifacts (horizontal A lines or vertical B lines indicating interstitial syndrome), lung sliding, and alveolar consolidation and/or pleural effusion, these items were grouped to assess ultrasound profiles.

the study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of B-lines testing assessed by emergency nurses after 12-h training in the diagnosis of HF in patients admitted to the emergency department with acute dyspnea.

Study Groups

nurses

ED nurses trained to perform LUS and blinded to the final diagnosis

we perform a lung ultrasound to all the patients admitted for dyspnea independantly from the final diagnosis

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients were placed in a semi-recumbent or supine position depending on their respiratory tolerance. For each side of the chest, 4 zones have to be assessed : 2 anterior and 2 lateral. The operator should calculate the number of B-lines when present .

emergency physician

certified emergency physician who had accomplished a full mentoring program for "Ultra-Sound Life Support".
