The Applications of Point-of-care Ultrasound in ED Unselected, Non-critical Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Ultrasound Therapy; Complications

• Registration Number: NCT04149041
• Lead Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

Brief Summary

to investigate prevalence of agreement between sonographic and clinical diagnosis in adult patients seen in an emergency department.

Detailed Description

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can improve patient management in the emergency department (ED). However, previous studies have focused only on selected groups of patients, such as trauma, shock, dyspnea, or critically ill patients, or patients with an already known diagnosis. Most patients seen in the ED do not match these criteria. This study aims to investigate prevalence of agreement between sonographic and clinical diagnosis in adult patients seen in an emergency department.
