  • Any patient with respiratory pathology based on clinical or radiological findings. Including, but not limited to:
  • Pneumonia, pulmonary oedema, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), aspiration, pulmonary contusion from trauma, infective exacerbations of known lung disease (e.g. asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema) or pulmonary embolism (PE)

  • The patient is known to be pregnant.
