Study Details

Study Description

Brief 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.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
of Lung Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

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

Primary Outcome Measures

diagnostic data checklist [immediately after ICU admission]
Data of CT chest ,lung ultrasound and chest radiography in diagnosis of ARDS .

Secondary Outcome Measures

success rate [within 24 hours after weaning]
compared the success of both methods in terms of reintubation or not for those patients
lung ultrasound as a predictor for weaning [immediately before weaning]
evaluate the scoring of lung aeration
diaphragmatic ultrasound as a predictor for weaning [immediately before weaning]
diaphragmatic thickness and excursion
