Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Change of management
Secondary outcome
- Feasibility of management changes within 8 hours after POCUS
- Change in fluid balance after 8 hours
Background summary
Thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography is able to detect pathology and monitor or guide therapy. The clinical utility is determined by its actual effect on patient management and patient oucomes. In this prospective observational study we include all bedside point-of-care ultrasonography examinations that were performed with a clinical indication. Changes in management and diagnosis will be recorded. Patient characteristics, fluid balance, and feasibility (whether or not changes in managemnet were carried out) within 8 hours were recorded
Study objective
We hypothesise that thoracic point-of-care ultrasound will change patient management in the majority of cases.
Study design
- Time of POCUS examination
