Quick heart ultrasound test in the ICU

This trial tests if a heart imaging scan (myocardial perfusion) can help doctors better diagnose heart attacks or other conditions in people who come to the hospital with chest pain but without ST elevation on their ECG. It aims to see if the scan adds valuable information before heart catheterization.

This study looks at how the heart is affected in critically ill patients who need a breathing machine. It uses ultrasound and other simple tests to check for heart problems that can happen in the ICU, which may help doctors find and treat them earlier.

This trial is testing whether a special heart ultrasound done through your food pipe (transesophageal echocardiography) is safe and helpful for patients on breathing machines in the intensive care unit. If you are already in the ICU at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong, and your doctor thinks this test is needed, you may be able to join.

This trial uses bedside heart ultrasound to look for right-sided heart strain in people in the ICU. It may help doctors recognize heart injury earlier in patients who need breathing machines and/or strong blood-pressure support.

This trial will test how using a quick bedside heart ultrasound (focused echo) can help doctors make better decisions for children who are critically ill in the pediatric ICU.

This trial tests whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your heart, guided by artificial intelligence, can be reliably done by minimally trained staff. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids to ICU patients who need them.
