Can a simple scan save lives in the ICU?

NCT ID NCT05112705

Summary

This study is testing whether doing regular leg ultrasound scans on critically ill patients in the ICU can help find dangerous blood clots (DVT) early. Finding clots early might prevent them from traveling to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) and reduce deaths. About 1,800 ICU patients will be randomly assigned to receive either twice-weekly leg ultrasounds or the standard ICU care.
