U.S., April 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06911450) titled 'Pleural Strain by Speckle-Tracking Ultrasound: Feasibility and Driving Pressure Associations' on March 27.
Brief Summary: What is this study about? This research aims to test a new ultrasound technology called "speckle tracking" to measure how much the lining of your lungs (pleura) stretches during breathing, especially if you're on a breathing machine (ventilator). Doctors want to see if this technology can help them adjust ventilator settings more safely, reducing the risk of lung damage.
Why is this important? Lung protection: Patients on ventilators, especially those with severe lung problems (like ARDS or pneumonia), need care...
