Acute dyspnea is a common symptom that leads to emergency room evaluations, necessitating careful assessment due to its significant prognostic implications. The differential diagnosis is complex, requiring prompt diagnostic evaluation to determine the appropriate care setting. Recent evidence highlights the utility of lung ultrasound and echocardiography in differentiating the causes of dyspnea. Additionally, non-invasive respiratory support methods, such as high-flow nasal oxygen and continuous positive airway pressure, are gaining attention for their effectiveness in treating patients with respiratory failure.
