-
LVOT VTI measurements by minimally trained operators in healthy volunteers
This study tests whether medical students or new physicians can measure LVOT VTI with transthoracic echocardiography as accurately as an experienced clinician.
-
Handheld (point-of-care) ultrasound use in free clinics and street medicine
This project will see how often handheld ultrasound is used and whether it changes care for adults receiving medical services from Indianapolis free clinics or the street medicine team.
-
Bedside ultrasound to detect early post‑laparotomy wound fluid and predict infection
This project will try bedside ultrasound on adults after open abdominal surgery to see if early fluid under the skin predicts a surgical site infection.
-
Neck (internal jugular) ultrasound to check fluid levels in people on haemodialysis
This project will test whether a quick ultrasound of the internal jugular vein can tell if people on chronic haemodialysis have too much or too little fluid.
-
Central venous catheter placement with bedside ECG guidance and thoracic ultrasound
This study tests whether using intracavity ECG to confirm catheter tip position and bedside ultrasound to check for pneumothorax is feasible compared with standard post-procedure X-rays.
-
Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound training pathway for emergency advanced practice providers
This project will test a simulation-based and just-in-time training program to teach emergency department nurse practitioners and physician assistants to perform focused cardiac POCUS.
