Pilot Study to Study the Time Between Pleuropulmonary Ultrasound and Antibiotic Therapy Prescription in Patients Admitted to the Emergency Department for Suspected Pneumonia
Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble
Summary
Pneumonia is a common pathology with significant morbidity and mortality. It is recommended in his diagnostic approach to perform either a chest X-ray or a pleuropulmonary ultrasound. Previous studies have shown the advantages of ultrasound in terms of diagnostic performance cost and patient irradiation. However, it remains little used in clinical practice.
