Reproductibility of TM-mode Ultrasound Diaphragm Measures in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress in the ER
France26 participantsStarted 2013-08
Plain-language summary
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the inter-rater reproducibility of diaphragmatic excursion measures via time-motion-mode ultrasound (evaluation performed on the first measure) in patients experiencing acute respiratory distress emergencies.

Inclusion Criteria:
* The patient must have given his/her informed and signed consent
* The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan
* The patient has acute respiratory distress defined by a respiratory rate \> 25, and / or signs of struggle and hypoxia, oxygen saturation (SpO2) \<90% and / or pH \<7.35 and carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) \> 6 kPa (45 mm Hg)
* The patient breathes spontaneously (no respirator)
Exclusion Criteria:
* The patient is participating in another study
* The patient is in an exclusion period determined by a previous study
* The patient is under judicial protection, under tutorship or curatorship
* The patient or his/her representative refuses to sign the consent
* It is impossible to correctly inform the patient, or to correctly inform his/her representative
* The patient is pregnant, parturient, or breastfeeding
* The patient has a neurological or neuromuscular disease that modifies diaphragm function/movement; this does not include cases of decompensation (polyradiculoneuropathy, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia ...).
* Patient admitted with respiratory support treatment in progress
* Patient admitted with respiratory failure requiring immediate implementation of mechanical ventilation, thus preventing ultrasound measurements
