NCT05886556•Zagazig University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

To evaluate the validity of lung ultrasound compared to CT chest and chest radiograph for diagnosis of ARDS and prediction of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in those patients compared to traditional methods.

Detailed Description

57 patients will be diagnosed as ARDS by CT chest and clinical criteria, then will be compared between the findings by lung ultrasound and chest radiograph to detect the sensitivity of both imaging to CT chest as gold standard in diagnosis of ARDS patients
