Pilot Study on the Value of Bedside Pleuropulmonary Ultrasound in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Presenting With Vaso-occlusive Crisis

Summary

Describe the proportion of patients with major sickle cell syndrome in vaso-occlusive crisis presenting at least one pleuropulmonary ultrasound abnormality during one of the ultrasounds performed at D0, between D2 and D5 during hospitalization and at D-1 of discharge. We hypothesize that pleuropulmonary ultrasound will make it possible to detect the serious complications associated with vaso-occlusive crises in patients with major sickle cell syndrome earlier and more reliably, in departments where ultrasound tools are still underdeveloped, while avoiding the need for more conventional radiology examinations that cause radiation in multi-hospitalized patients.
