POCUS-PEAC to Reduce Femoral Arterial Blood Flow

NCT04745585 | Terminated

• 1 other identifier: 2020-1941
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 20

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy on healthy subjects of Point of Care ultrasonographically guided external aortic compression compared to the manual technique already described.

Conditions

Hemorrhage

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Comparison of the flow reduction for each compression technique

  For each subject, a nurse working at the vascular laboratory will measure the femoral arterial flow using Doppler ultrasound. A measurement will be noted before the interventions, after 20 seconds of manual compression, before the second intervention and after 20 seconds of POCUS compression. The reduction of flow will be calculated for each compression technique and the difference of reduction will be compared. The difference in flow reduction will also be compared for the small weight operator. The two operators will be blinded to the results.

  20 seconds

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Subject pain evaluation

  15 minutes

• Side effects

  7 days
