Official title

Improving Lower Extremity DVT Outcomes in the Outpatient Setting: An Evaluation of 3-Point of Care Ultrasound for Timely Diagnosis and Treatment

Overview

This study will include approximately 50 patients who will be enrolled if there is suspicion of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Each patient will receive a point-of-care ultrasound performed by physicians in an outpatient clinic. All patients will receive a subsequent confirmatory gold standard venous duplex ultrasonography. The investigators will compare time to diagnosis and treatment initiation and evaluate short-term clinical outcomes, including pulmonary embolism, hospitalization, ICU care, and mortality.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic test STAT Venous Duplex
    STAT Venous Duplex
  • Diagnostic test Routine Venous Duplex
    Routine Venous Duplex

Primary outcome measures

  • Number of Subjects Who Have Identical POCUS Result to Venous Duplex Result [Time frame: 1 week]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • Rate of Pulmonary Embolism [Time frame: 3 months]
  • Rate of Stroke [Time frame: 3 months]
  • Rate of Myocardial Infarction [Time frame: 3 months]
  • Number of Subjects who Died [Time frame: 3 months]
