No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and implications of the diagnoses and treatment determined by bedside ultrasonography (b-US) of the kidneys compared to current clinical assessment. Potentially diagnosing patients faster and avoiding missing conditions leading to readmission or unnecessary radiation from computed tomography (CT).

This study evaluates the use of b-US as a supplement to clinical evaluation, in an unselected group of patients in the emergency department (ED) with signs of kidney involvement. The b-US of the kidneys is performed by a medical student certified in this technique. The evaluation will be based on data collected from a Danish hospital (Odense University Hospital, OUH) in autumn 2018.

Conditions

  • Hydronephrosis
  • Pyelonephritis
  • Urosepsis

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

bedside ultrasonography

Patients suspicious to urinary tract infection with kidney involvement are being examined by ultrasonography to detect hydroneprhosis. The treating clinicians fill out questionnaires to validate the impact of the bedside ultrasonography on the patient care and treatment.
