Clinical Trial: Diagnostic Accuracy and Operational Efficiency of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in Long Bone Fractures: A Brazilian Multicenter Study

U.S., July 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07728227) titled 'Diagnostic Accuracy and Operational Efficiency of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in Long Bone Fractures: A Brazilian Multicenter Study' on July 15.

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for identifying long bone fractures in the emergency department.

Traditionally, suspected long bone fractures are diagnosed using X-rays. While effective, X-rays require transporting patients to a radiology suite, involve exposure to ionizing radiation, and can contribute to longer emergency room wait times. POCUS is a portable, radiation-free ...
