Ability of Bedside Ultrasound to Predict Progression of Severity of Disease in Dengue Fever

NCT02134652 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is determine the ability of bedide ultrasound performed in the Emergency Department and Outpatient Department can predict the severity of disease during a Dengue Fever outbreak in children, in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our hypothesis is that the presence of gallbladder wall thickening and/or pleural effusions in children correlates with progression to Dengue hemorrhagic fever and Dengue shock. In addition, we hypothesize that sonographic imaging of pediatric patients presenting to the emergency department with a fever during a Dengue fever outbreak will change management and disposition.

Conditions

  • Dengue
  • Disease Progression

Interventions

OTHER

diagnostic bedside ultrasound

Patients enrolled in this study will undergo bedside ultrasound during their initial presentation to the emergency department. Ultrasound imaging protocols include the following: * FAST Exam - Standard images will be obtained using the abdominal transducer. Images include the following: 1) sub-xyphoid 2)right upper quadrant (with right thorax) 3)left upper quadrant (with left thorax) and 4) suprapubic * Right Upper Quadrant Exam - Standard images will be obtained using the abdominal transducer. Images include the following: 1) Long axis of the gallbladder 2) Transverse axis of the gallbladder fundus 3) Transverse axis of the gallbladder body and 4) Transverse axis of the gallbladder neck.
