Checking fluid status in home dialysis patients
This study looks at better ways to check for fluid overload in people doing dialysis at home. Your doctor will use a simple breathing scale, a physical exam, and a small bedside ultrasound to see which method matches your actual fluid status.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT06803628Recruiting
Ultrasound to rule out bowel blockage in ER
This study tests if an ER doctor can use a bedside ultrasound to quickly rule out a bowel blockage, so you might avoid a CT scan. You'll get the ultrasound plus a CT scan to compare how well the ultrasound works.
Clermont-Ferrand, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07704814Recruiting
Kids' lymph node ultrasound in lower body
This study uses a bedside ultrasound to check lymph nodes in the lower belly and groin of children who come to the emergency room with injuries. It aims to learn what normal lymph nodes look like in healthy kids.
SunderlandAges 2–16 - NCT06602856Recruiting
Ultrasound in Swiss air rescue
Researchers are looking at how Rega rescue teams use a portable ultrasound device (POCUS) in emergencies. If you were treated by Rega and they used this device, your data could help improve emergency care.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07438613Recruiting
Ultrasound of neck vein for fluid levels in dialysis
This trial uses ultrasound to check the fluid levels in people on long-term dialysis. It aims to see if this can help doctors better adjust their treatment.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07580456Recruiting
Testing AI to Read Stomach Ultrasounds Accurately
This study helps researchers train artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret ultrasound images of the stomach. You'll receive a light meal and have a quick ultrasound scan; your images help improve AI technology that doctors may use in the future.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07556341Recruiting
Ultrasound Imaging at Free Clinics in Indianapolis
This study tests whether quick ultrasound imaging (a safe, painless scanning tool) can help doctors better diagnose and treat patients at free clinics in Indianapolis. Researchers want to see if point-of-care ultrasound—performed right in the clinic—improves care for patients without insurance or regular doctors.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07711821Recruiting
Heart failure screening in primary care for older adults
This trial is testing a simple screening tool to find early signs of heart failure in people aged 50 or older, especially those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. If you're at risk, this could help catch heart problems sooner.
AmadoraAges 49 years+ - NCT06379347Recruiting
Fluid status check with ultrasound in hospitalized patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure fluid levels in hospitalized patients. It helps doctors understand how well your body is managing fluids, which can guide treatment decisions.
Almere StadAges 18 years+ - NCT06524622Recruiting
Ultrasound and pressure test for sepsis in the ICU
This study tests whether a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) combined with a standard pressure measurement (CVP) can better predict outcomes for people with sepsis in the ICU. The goal is to see if these tools help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Yibin, SichuanAges 18–100 - NCT06580158Recruiting
AI for diagnosing heart valve and pump problems
This trial is testing how well an AI tool can help doctors diagnose aortic stenosis and diastolic dysfunction by analyzing your scheduled ECG (heart test). The study takes place during your routine care at the clinic.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 60 years+ - NCT06643325Recruiting
Gastric emptying after traumatic injuries
This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
WinterthurAges 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+ - NCT07291869Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided central line placement study
This trial tests a new way to place a central line (a tube in a large vein) using ultrasound and a special ECG technique to improve accuracy. It may help people in intensive care who need this procedure.
York, North YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07549880Recruiting
Ultrasound to detect infections after abdominal surgery
This study tests whether bedside ultrasound—a simple imaging tool used at your hospital bed—can help doctors spot surgical infections early after abdominal surgery. Catching infections sooner might help you recover faster and avoid serious complications.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07600931Recruiting
Heart Ultrasound Learning Study in Healthy Medical Professionals
This study teaches medical students and doctors how to perform a specific heart ultrasound measurement (LVOT VTI) on healthy volunteers. Researchers want to see how well beginners can learn and perform this technique.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT06749145Enrolling by invitation
Using deep learning to find aortic stenosis earlier
This study tests if a deep learning tool can help detect aortic stenosis, a heart valve condition, in older adults during routine primary care visits. If you are 70 or older and have not had a recent echocardiogram, you may be able to join.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 70 years+ - NCT06880679Recruiting
Ultrasound for acute chest syndrome in sickle cell disease
This study uses a bedside ultrasound to check for acute chest syndrome in children and young adults with sickle cell disease who are in the hospital. The goal is to see if this simple scan can help diagnose the condition early.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Up to 25 years - NCT07677553Recruiting
Ultrasound training trial for doctors in Syria
This trial trains doctors in conflict-affected Syria to use portable ultrasound at the point of care. It aims to see if learning and remote quality checks can help them diagnose patients better in their communities.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT06827730Recruiting
Ultrasound for chest or belly pain in the ER
This study uses a quick bedside ultrasound (called PoCUS) to help doctors diagnose chest or belly pain in the emergency room. If you join, you'll get this ultrasound early in your visit to see if it helps find the cause of your pain faster and more accurately.
