NCT ID: NCT06003985 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Point of Care Ultrasound

Gastric Ultrasound Assessment for Patients Taking GLP1 Agonists

Start date: August 29, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to perform bedside gastric point of care ultrasound (POCUS) exams to assess the gastric volume and content (clear liquids vs solid food) perioperatively in patients who take glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist medications compared to patients who do not take GLP-1 agonists.

NCT ID: NCT05864378 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Small Bowel Obstruction

POCUS for Small Bowel Obstruction in the ED: a Retrospective Study

SBOCUS
Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study protocol aims to evaluate the impact of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) on the diagnosis and management of small bowel obstruction (SBO) in the emergency department (ED). SBO is a potentially life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis and management. Currently, the diagnosis of SBO is based on clinical evaluation and imaging tests, including plain abdominal radiography and computed tomography (CT) scan. POCUS is a bedside imaging technique that is rapid, non-invasive, repeatable, cost-effective and radiation-free, and can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and management of SBO. The primary objective of this study is to compare the time to diagnosis of SBO between patients who undergo POCUS intestinal loops examination and those who do not undergo POCUS in the ED. The secondary objectives include comparing the hospital length of stay, the rate of surgical intervention, the rate of complications, and the mortality rate between the two groups. This is a monocentric retrospective cohort study that will include all adult patients (> 18 years old) who presented to the ED with suspected SBO. The study population will be divided into two groups: the POCUS group and the non-POCUS group. The sample size calculation will be based on the assumption of a 30% reduction in the time to diagnosis of SBO in the POCUS group compared to the non-POCUS group, with a power of 80%. The results of this study may provide more robust evidence on the diagnostic accuracy and impact of POCUS for SBO in the ED.

NCT ID: NCT05859516 Recruiting - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

Application of Point-of-care Ultrasound in Rapid Assessment of Cardiac Arrest Patients

Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To quickly assess the patient's cardiac function and structure through ultrasound

NCT ID: NCT05763745 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Point of Care Ultrasound

Bedside Ultrasonic Assessment for Gastric Content in Patients With Upper GI Bleeding Undergoing Endoscopy: a Pilot Study

Start date: February 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Emerging studies have evaluated POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound) for assessing of gastric content prior to anesthesia to reduce the risk of aspiration and demonstrated that POCUS can accurately identify presence of gastric food or fluid. Despite accumulating studies evaluating POCUS as a diagnostic modality to evaluate for gastric food content prior to anesthesia, there is no study to date that has evaluated the role of POCUS prior to endoscopy among patients with upper GI bleeding. Therefore, this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS for retained gastric content prior to endoscopy among patient hospitalized/admitted with upper GI bleeding. This study would take place at Loma Linda University Medical Center. Subjects will be any one who has upper GI bleed required EGD and age of greater than 18 years old. The study will plan for 1 year or reach 50 patients (whichever one comes first). In addition, subjects will be recruited from ED, ICU, Medicine ward by the PI, SubPI, and Collaborators. Subject will received ultrasound up to 6 hours prior the start of endoscopy. The location of Ultrasound would either take place at GI lab prior to scope or at the ward prior to transportation to GI lab or at ICU prior to endoscopy. The ultrasound would focus upper abdomen area and look for antrum. the result will be immediately read before endoscopy and fill out on the sheet before the endoscopy. Patient then proceed with endoscopy. At the end of the scope, the researcher will ask the endoscopist questions regarding how well they could see each part of the stomach in order to complete the study. Both results are compared between US and Endoscopy. Endoscopist is blinded in this study.

NCT ID: NCT05523882 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Point-of-care Ultrasound

The Clinical Impact of POCUS Use in General Practice

Start date: August 31, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Being a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation study, this study aims to simultaneous assess the clinical effectiveness of the introduction of point-of-care unltrasound in general practice and to measure the impact of the implementation strategy as co-primary aims.

NCT ID: NCT04583670 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Point of Care Ultrasound

Point of Care Ultrasound Use by General Practitioners in France (Echo-MG)

Echo-MG
Start date: January 15, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study explores how Point of Care Ultrasound (POC-US) is used in general practice in France and how it affects the diagnostic process and treatment of patients. General practitioners (GPs) will register information each time they use POC-US during a one month period. The aim of this study is to describe the use of POCUS and its role in the diagnostic and therapeutic process in general medicine. - Description of the use of POCUS through indication, organs scanned, findings, frequency , time consumption. - Analysis of the role of POCUS in the diagnostic process: change of diagnostic hypotheses and change of certainty in the main diagnostic hypothesis. - Analysis of the role of POCUS in the therapeutic process: change in the care pathway and the therapeutic initial plan. This is an observational study without any intervention.

NCT ID: NCT04507620 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

Effect of Cervical Immobilization on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

Start date: July 8, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Effect of Cervical Immobilization on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

NCT ID: NCT04396925 Active, not recruiting - General Practice Clinical Trials

Point-of-care Ultrasonography in Norwegian General Practice

Start date: December 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The scope of this study is to explore how general practitioners (GPs) use Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) in Norway. Thirty GPs will register information each time they use POCUS during a three-month period. Acquired information include the purpose of the scan, which organ is scanned, frequencies of POCUS and changes in diagnosis, plan, and treatment after the scan. This is a strict observational study without any intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03608202 Completed - Clinical trials for Point of Care Ultrasound

Impact of a Multisystemic Ultrasound Protocol in Patients of Polyvalent Intensive Care Units

Start date: November 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Ultrasound is a widely used tool for clinicians to manage severe acute patients, seeking to improve the limitations of traditional physical examination and special studies that require patient transfers and can be harmful. This study aims to determine that a pre-established protocol of multiorganic point-of-care ultrasound can be beneficial performed systematically in a critical care patient, improving the diagnosis, detecting hidden anomalies, generating changes in therapy and guiding interventions. A multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, against a conventional therapy group is designed. The study group underwent an ultrasound protocol at the entrance of an ICU, of optic, pulmonary, cardiac, abdominal and guide of interventions.
