We conducted a pilot study (ISRCTN89462491) preparatory to a fully powered randomized, placebo-cont...
Background Dyspnea is one of the most frequent causes of access to the Emergency Department (ED). A major challenge for the emergency physician lies in differentiating diagnosis between cardiogenic and respiratory dyspnea. Currently, the instrument mainly used for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary disease is a chest X-ray: however, chest ultrasounds (US) are proving their potential in the diagno...

Dyspnea is not a single sensation, having multiple qualitative descriptors. Primary sources of dyspnea i...
