Gainesville, FloridaAges 40 years+ - NCT06506617Recruiting
Testing pneumonia patients in the emergency room

This trial tests a method to measure oxygen in the air you breathe out during emergency intubation. It aims to help doctors prevent low oxygen levels in patients at high risk, such as those with pneumonia, sepsis, or obesity.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06643338Recruiting
Testing AI to spot eye nerve conditions in the ER
This trial is testing a new computer system that uses photographs of the back of your eye (color fundus photos) to help doctors quickly identify certain nerve or vision problems in the emergency room. If you come to the specific hospital and meet the basic requirements, this study will take pictures of your eyes to see if the AI can spot conditions more accurately.
