The diagnostic value of Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in emergency department (ED) dyspneic patients is shown by numerous studies with a limited number of patients. Recently, Zanobetti et al. showed the POCUS diagnostic performance in dyspneic patients in 2600 patients. This study was monocentric and few physicians performed the ultrasounds. Moreover they were experts. The POCUS diagnostic performance performed in a large number of dyspneic ED patients by many physicians with heterogeneous experience is not known. The investigators are carrying out a bicentric study in two large medical teams routinely practicing POCUS. The main objective of this study is to show the diagnostic concordance between the diagnosis resulting from the POCUS results in emergency department dyspneic patients and the diagnosis of discharge from the emergency department in a large medical team with a heterogeneous level of training and experience. The secondary objective is to study these different diagnostic concordances according to the level of ultrasound expertise of the ER practitioners.
Adult patients (> 18 years old) admitted to the emergency department for a main reason of dyspnea.
- Method of observation : This will be a prospective bicentric observational study.
