Study Overview
Brief Summary
Ultrasound was used to identify the location of a rib. This was compared to a practitioner's ability to palpate the area.
Detailed Description
Ultrasound was used to identify the location of a rib. This was compared to a practitioner's ability to palpate the area. The purpose of this study is to identify if practitioners are as accurate as they think they are in identifying ribs. This is important, as mis-identifying a rib may put patients at risk for inadvertent needle entry into the lung.
