A New Ultrasonographic Tool to Assess Pulmonary Strain in the ICU

Mechanical Ventilation Complication | Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury

The primary objective of the study is to create a small dataset of regional pulmonary strain values in patients suffering from pulmonary diseases under mechanical ventilation in an intensive care setting.

Hypothesis: The analysis of lung ultrasonographic sequences using speckle-tracking allows the determination of local pleural strain in 4 predetermined pulmonary areas in mechanically ventilated patients suffering from pulmonary diseases.
