Recruiting studies
- NCT07779317Recruiting
Midline catheter vs ultrasound-guided IV for hard-to-find veins
This study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV access.
Albany, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06726811Recruiting
Droperidol and changes in heart electrical activity
This study looks at how a medication called droperidol (given through an IV for nausea or agitation) affects the heart's electrical activity. If you are in the emergency department and need both an ECG and droperidol, researchers will check your heart tracing before and after the medication to see if there are any changes.
Corpus Christi, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06165081Recruiting
Emergency care after cardiac arrest and short-term outcomes
This study looks at how care in the emergency room after a cardiac arrest affects short-term recovery. It may help doctors find better ways to treat patients whose hearts have stopped outside the hospital.

Digital triage to speed up emergency care
This trial tests a digital system that helps emergency staff quickly decide how to treat patients when they first arrive. It may help you get seen faster if you come in on your own, go through the normal check-in, and aren't sent directly to a special clinic.
Villars-sur-Glâne, Canton of FribourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07185828Recruiting
Text message help for ER patients with minor issues
This study tests a text message program for people who recently visited the ER for a minor issue. The goal is to see if sending helpful information about non-emergency resources (like clinics or support services) can improve your care after discharge.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06933550Recruiting
Study on collecting patient information in the emergency department
This study asks patients in the emergency department to answer simple questions about their symptoms and health. The goal is to collect information that can help doctors provide better care during the patient's visit.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07021118Recruiting
Mild TBI study in the emergency room
This trial studies adults who come to the emergency department with a mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI). The goal is to learn more about this condition and maybe find better ways to treat it.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07123857Recruiting
Quick lactate test for triage in emergency department
This trial tests if a quick lactate test (a blood test that measures a chemical linked to serious illness) can help doctors sort patients more accurately in the emergency department. It is for adults who are triaged as 'yellow' (urgent) and can give consent.
MariborAges 18 years+ - NCT07159269Recruiting
Cardiac ultrasound training for emergency department providers
This study teaches nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the emergency department how to use a special type of heart ultrasound (called cardiac point-of-care ultrasound). The goal is to help these providers quickly and accurately check the heart at the bedside.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06668636Enrolling by invitation
A tool to help you transition from emergency to home care

Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 14 years+ - NCT06511583Recruiting
Bronchoscopy for aspiration pneumonia in the ER
This trial tests if using a thin, flexible scope (bronchoscopy) to suck out fluid and debris from the lungs helps adults with aspiration pneumonia in the emergency room. It is for those who need help clearing their airways due to swallowing problems or pneumonia on imaging.
Florence, Tuscany/ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07259499Recruiting
Predictors of emergency visits in frail older adults
This study looks at why frail older adults go to the emergency room. Researchers want to see if blood tests and brain scans can help predict who needs emergency care. Participation involves one interview and having had a recent brain scan and blood work.
Pisa, PisaAges 65 years+ - NCT07137754Recruiting
Physiotherapy for minor injuries in the emergency department
This study tests whether a physiotherapy-led care model in the emergency department can help people with minor muscle or bone injuries recover better and at a lower cost. If you join, you'll see a physiotherapist instead of a doctor for your arm or leg injury.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07411300Recruiting
Support for caregivers after child's mental health ER visit
This study tests a program to help parents or guardians of youth who visited the ER for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. It aims to support caregivers after their child is discharged with a safety plan.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 10–17 - NCT07028463Recruiting
Awareness and resources for fall risk in older ED patients
This study tests a program in the emergency department that helps older adults at risk for falls get connected to resources and support after they go home.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 65 years+ - NCT05050617Recruiting
Ultrasound in the ER to predict risks in pulmonary embolism
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06592378Recruiting
Managing pain after a broken bone with a smartphone app
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can help patients manage opioid pain medication safely after being discharged from the emergency room with a broken bone. If you have a simple fracture and plan to take opioids for pain, the app may help you track your use and recovery.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 6 years+ - NCT06827288Recruiting
