Bedside ultrasound for people with suspected snake bites
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how useful a quick, bedside ultrasound exam is for assessing snake bites. If you’re an adult with a snake bite, the study may help doctors see what’s going on faster to guide treatment.
