Blood clot risk tool for emergency providers
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a tool that helps emergency department providers like you estimate the risk of blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) before ordering a CT scan. It aims to make testing more accurate and reduce unnecessary scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be a medical doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
- You must order CT scans for adults in the emergency department.
- You must be working at one of the participating hospitals: Northwell Health, Baylor College of Medicine, or NYU Langone Health.

This trial tests a new computer tool that helps doctors decide whether you likely have a blood clot in your leg or lung. If you have symptoms and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether a new way of grouping patients with blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) can better predict their outcomes. If you join, your health will be tracked for 30 days to see how well this new system works.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
This study looks back at patients in the ICU who had a CT scan that unexpectedly found a blood clot in their lungs. The goal is to see how this discovery changed their treatment and what complications they may have had.
This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound measurement called pulmonary artery pressure can help doctors predict if a patient with shortness of breath has a blood clot in the lungs. It compares current pressure readings with past readings to see if changes might signal a clot.
