Cardiac ultrasound training for emergency department providers
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an advanced practice provider—this means you are a nurse practitioner (NP) or a physician assistant (PA).
- You currently work in our emergency department (ED) or will be hired to work in one within the next 3 years.

This study tests whether a hands-on training program in bedside heart ultrasound improves how emergency doctors care for patients with acute heart failure. The program teaches emergency medicine providers to quickly use ultrasound to guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests if an online app helps internal medicine residents learn point-of-care ultrasound (a quick bedside scan). It may be a good fit if you are starting ultrasound training.
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.
This trial tests whether a head-mounted device can help guide doctors remotely while they practice an emergency ultrasound exam called eFAST. It is designed for resident physicians who already have basic ultrasound training.
This trial tests a hands-on ultrasound training workshop for emergency medicine physicians. It aims to improve their skills using simulation cases.
This study tests if emergency medical technicians (EMTs) can use a portable ultrasound device on patients before they reach the hospital. It focuses on adults with a trauma, breathing trouble, suspected stroke, or cardiac arrest.
