A New Ultrasonographic Tool to Assess Pulmonary Strain in the ICU
Sponsor: Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM)
Summary
The primary objective of the study is to create a small dataset of regional pulmonary strain values in patients suffering from pulmonary diseases under mechanical ventilation in an intensive care setting. Hypothesis: The analysis of lung ultrasonographic sequences using speckle-tracking allows the determination of local pleural strain in 4 predetermined pulmonary areas in mechanically ventilated patients suffering from pulmonary diseases.
Official title: A Pilot Study of a New Ultrasonographic Tool to Assess Regional Pulmonary Strain in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Suffering From Pulmonary Diseases in an Intensive Care Setting.
