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.
