Interventions

  • Pleuropulmonary ultrasound performed by the investigator for patient with suspicion od Pneumonia — PROCEDURE
    In addition to the traditional management done by the physician at the patient's expense (such as clinical examination and paraclinical examinations like biology, chest X-ray, etc.), the investigator will perform pleuropulmonary ultrasound.

Study Details

Pneumonia is a common pathology with significant morbidity and mortality. It is recommended in his diagnostic approach to perform either a chest X-ray or a pleuropulmonary ultrasound. Previous studies have shown the advantages of ultrasound in terms of diagnostic performance cost and patient irradiation. However, it remains little used in clinical practice.
