The main objective of this study is to evaluate the inter-rater reproducibility of diaphragmatic excursion measures via time-motion-mode ultrasound (evaluation performed on the first measure) in patients experiencing acute respiratory distress emergencies.
The secondary objectives of this study are: * To assess the feasibility of measuring the diaphragmatic excursion in the context of emergency management (ratio of measured patients / included patients). * To evaluate the time required for the measurement. * To assess the intra-rater reproducibility of measurements of diaphragmatic excursion (comparison of first and second measures).

A first diaphragm ultrasound study will be carried out by investigator 1. A Vivid S6 GE Ultrasound will be used, with a phased array cardiac probe.
A second diaphragm ultrasound study will be carried out immediately after Ultrasound 1, and by investigator 2. The results are blinded between investigators. A Vivid S6 GE Ultrasound will be used, with a phased array cardiac probe.
