Filter by:Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can affect various organs, including the lungs, and lead to rheumatoid arthritis-interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). RA-ILD is responsible for increased mortality in rheumatoid arthristis (RA) patients. The prevalence of RA-ILD varies according to the screening tool used. The current gold standard is chest CT, but this is an expensive, time-consuming and irradiating examination, and recommendations on when and how often it should be performed are not clearly established. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an emerging tool for the detection of lung parenchymal damage, particularly in systemic scleroderma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). LUS is a non-irradiating, non-expensive examination that can be performed rapidly. The aim of our study is to evaluate LUS as a screening tool for RA-ILD, in patients with risk factors for developing RA-ILD.
This study aims to compare the accuracy of the total thoracic fluid content (TFC) measured by electrical cardiometry with accuracy of lung ultrasound score in prediction of weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients.
The main purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of PEEP application in terms of perioperative oxygenation level in the use of classical LMA and i-gel, which is often preferred. The secondary aim is to compare parameters such as gastric insufflation and the rate of postoperative pulmonary complication development in the case of PEEP with two supraglottic airway devices.
We aim to identify the diagnostic role of a lung ultrasonography (LUS) score to predict the severity and the need for surfactant therapy in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and to compare it with a chest X-ray score.
To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of bedside transthoracic ultrasound examination in the diagnosis and follow up of ventilator associated pneumonia.
The study will be to demonstrate that, in patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery, lung ultrasound (LUS) in OR is more sensitive, specific and accurate method than thoracic auscultation, for the evaluation of OLV. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how lung ultrasound can be considered an attractive alternative to the routine use of fiberbronchoscope as a first line diagnostic tool to verify the correct position of left double lumen tube.
