NCT05729035 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: POCUS VS CT chest
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

Estimate the predictive value of POCUS in diagnosis of different causes of acute dyspnea in hemodialysis patients and compare between POCUS and CT in differentiation the causes of acute dyspnea in those population.

Conditions

Dyspnea; Chronic Renal Failure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Compare between POCUS and CT in differentiation the causes of acute dyspnea in hemodialysis patients.

  Predictive value of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) versus computerized tomography (CT) in Diagnosis of Acute Dyspnea in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients.

  All patients maintained on regular hemodialysis equal to / more than 6 months admitted to emergency department and ICU of Internal Medicine Department from September 2021 to August 2022 presented by acute dyspnea

Interventions

POCUS RADIATION

Point of Care Ultrasound is complementary to a medical examination performed by primary care physicians

Also known as: CT chest
