Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Diagnostic accuracy parameters of lung ultrasound:
- Sensitivity
- Specificity
- Positive likelihood ratio
- Negative likelihood ratio
Secondary outcome
- Comparison a six-point lung ultrasound protocol to a 12-point lung ultrasound protocol
- Association of lung ultrasound findings with clinical pulmonary diagnoses
Background summary
Previous studies relating lung ultrasound to computed tomography (CT) findings have multiple methodologic limitations. Most are not adequately blinded en exlude patients with multiple diagnoses. Therefore a study that is appropriately blinded and investigates the full diagnostic extent of lung ultrasound was needed. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound in comparison to thoracic CT.
Study objective
We hypothesize that lung ultrasound is an adequate diagnostic modality using thoracic CT as reference standard. i.e. a sensitivity and specificity for all diagnoses above 70%.
Study design
At time of thoracic CT
Intervention
None
Inclusion criteria
- Adult (18 years or older) patients admitted to the ICU
- Undergoing thoracic CT for any clinical indication
Exclusion criteria
- Exceeding 8 hours between lung ultrasound examination and thoracic CT
