The Effects of Point-of-care Ultrasonography

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Background: When used with standard diagnostic testing, point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) might improve the proportion of patients admitted with chest pain (CP) who are correctly diagnosed, decrease length of stay (LOS) in emergency department (ED) and costs. We therefore assessed POCUS for the heart, lungs, aortic, hepatobiliary and deep vein in addition to the usual initial diagnostic testing in this patient population.

Methods: In a prospective, randomised-controlled, parallel-group trial in the ED at Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, patients (≥18 years) with CP were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a standard diagnostic strategy (control group) or to standard diagnostic strategy supplemented with POCUS (POCUS group).
