Clinical Trial Summary

Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation and hospitalization in emergency medicine. The use of ultrasound methods as a diagnostic and clinical assessment tool in emergency medicine is increasingly important. As such, ultrasound is a simple, non-invasive means of assessing diaphragmatic function in the patient's bed. Several methods of ultrasound assessment of diaphragm function have been described. Among these different methods, the diaphragmatic excursion seems to have a better intra and interobserver reproducibility as well as a greater feasibility, in particular because of its speed of realization and its learning curve seeming faster in comparison with the measurement. of the thickening fraction. Measuring the diaphragmatic excursion could therefore ultimately represent a simple means of assessing respiratory function, both diagnostic and prognostic, in patients with acute respiratory distress in the emergency departments. The etiologies of acute respiratory distress in very elderly patients (i.e.> 75 years) admitted to the emergency reception service are multiple. To our knowledge, there is no data available in the literature on the prevalence of diaphragmatic dysfunction and its short- and long-term course in this category of patients. The main objective of this study is therefore to assess the prevalence of diaphragmatic dysfunction and its evolutionary kinetics in patients over the age of 75 admitted for acute respiratory distress in the emergency medicine department.
