Live Stream of Prehospital point-of Care Ultrasound by Air Rescue Physicians

NCT04810520 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been suggested as a useful tool in emergency medicine for diagnosis and treatment of reversible causes. However, in prehospital setting performing ultrasound and the translation of the findings can be challenging. As new prehospital ultrasound devices offer the possibility for remote supervision, the impact of tele-supervision on time to diagnosis of critically ill patients is unclear.

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of tele-supervision on the time of POCUS in prehospital critically ill patients by air rescue physicians.

Methods: In total 100 critically ill patients suffering from acute dyspnoea, circulatory failure or trauma, which are treated by air rescue physicians will be included in this study. Duration of ultrasound performance as well as altered treatment strategies will be analyzed.
