Summary

Covid-19 (English acronym meaning coronavirus disease 2019) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a strain of coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. The current pandemic has resulted in a significant number of admissions in the emergency room (ER) due to suspicion of COVID-19 infection. Use of lung ultrasound is standard practice to diagnose acute respiratory failure in ER. Recently, typical lung ultrasonographic characteristics of COVID-19 disease has been described. The investigators demonstrated that the association of 4 signs in pulmonary ultrasound associated with a clinical sign (COVILUS score) could predict the occurrence of a positive RT-PCR in patients suspected of COVID-19 infection admitted to the emergency room. The investigators are going to conduct a new study to validate this COVILUS score in this type of patient. The main objective will be to validate the diagnostic performance of lung ultrasound in patients admitted to the emergency room with suspected COVID19 infection.

Conditions

• Covid19
• Lung Ultrasound
• Respiratory Complication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Covid19 RT-PCR	patients admitted to ER for suspicion of COVID-19 infection will have a SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test
OTHER	lung ultrasound	patients admitted to ER for suspicion of COVID-19 infection who has a SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test and for whom the emergency doctor decide to perform a lung ultrasound
