Tiny probe aims to see inside the heart of critical patients

NCT ID NCT02927041

Summary

This study aimed to see if a small, temporary ultrasound probe placed down the throat could help doctors make better treatment decisions for critically ill patients. It planned to observe 60 patients in trauma and heart surgery recovery, comparing this new monitoring method to standard care. The goal was to see if the detailed, real-time heart images led to different outcomes like shorter hospital stays or less need for blood transfusions.
