Official title
HF-FOCUS: Serial Lung Ultrasound And Peripheral Venous Pressure Monitoring To Enhance The Care Of Hospitalized Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Overview
The purpose of this study is to examine shorter hospitalization length as well as a reduced rates of recurrent heart failure hospitalization compared to current standard of care in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure. A 1-day reduction in hospital length of stay in unblinded subjects receiving daily HF-FOCUS examinations compared to a blinded standard of care arm.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Lung Ultrasound
Patients will undergo lung ultrasound assessments at hospital admission, daily throughout admission, and at hospital discharge.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of days in the hospital [Time frame: Baseline]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Number of re-hospitalized patients [Time frame: Baseline]
- Number of deaths [Time frame: Baseline]
- Change in effective diuresis [Time frame: Baseline, up to 90 Days]
- Change in diuretic dosing [Time frame: Baseline, up to 90 Days]
- Change in Lung Congestion [Time frame: Baseline, up to 90 Days]
