Ultrasound Training Program for Heart Failure Emergency Care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You work as an emergency medicine provider (doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner)
- You practice at the study hospital site

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.
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.
This trial uses portable ultrasound at the doctor's office to guide treatment for people with chronic heart failure who have recently been in the hospital. It aims to improve how we manage fluid buildup and symptoms.
This study tests whether a training program helps family doctors use a focused heart ultrasound (FoCUS) to assess patients. If you need a heart ultrasound as part of your regular care, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether quick imaging scans in the emergency department can help doctors diagnose heart failure faster in patients showing heart failure symptoms. The goal is to speed up diagnosis and improve care.
