U.S., Nov. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07253480) titled 'Correlation of Diaphragm Shear-Wave Elastography With Transdiaphragmatic Pressure in Healthy Adults: a Feasibility Study' on Nov. 19.
Brief Summary: Changes in intrapleural pressure after lung volume reduction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) patients can lead to complications, including an increased risk of pneumothorax. This procedure, intended to improve lung function, may disturb the pressure balance within the pleural space, potentially precipitating pneumothorax. Careful monitoring of intrapleural pressure could help predict patients at risk. However, intrapleural pressure can currently only be measured invasive...
