Improving Emergency Department Testing for Deep Vein Thrombosis

NCT06195787 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 458

Last updated 2025-05-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational study will use a new way to test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg. A DVT is a blood clot in the leg and is a medical problem that can cause swelling, pain, and redness. If the blood clot is not treated, it can cause more serious, long-term effects, and occasionally lead to death.

The main questions the study aims to answer are:

1. How safe is our new blood clot testing method?
2. How efficient is our new blood clot testing method?

The study will be run in the emergency department and urgent care centre in Kingston, Ontario. Patients who are tested for a DVT in the leg can be included in the study. Researchers follow the patient through chart review to make sure the new system is safe and efficient.
