Summary

The POCUS PATHWAY-trial is a multi-center, randomized, investigator-initiated, open labelled, pragmatic, controlled trial of a point-of-care ultrasound-driven diagnostic pathway vs standard diagnostic pathway in dyspneic emergency department patients. The primary outcome will be 24-hour hospital stay and 642 patients will be included. Key secondary outcomes include overall hospital length of stay, image resources, and 72-hour revisits.

Point-of-care ultrasound-driven diagnostic pathway

Focused lung ultrasound will include 8 zones (anterior and lateral) and evaluate pneumothorax, interstitial syndrome, lung consolidation, and pleural effusion. Focused cardiac ultrasound will include four views (subxiphoid four-chamber view, parasternal long-axis view, parasternal short-axis view, and apical four-chamber view) and evaluate pericardial fluid, right ventricle dilation, and left ventricular systolic contractility.
