Nurse-Led ultrasound training could boost bedside diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07660016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether nurse practitioners can effectively teach each other how to use bedside ultrasound to assess fluid status in patients. Sixty nurse practitioners or trainees will take part in a peer-led training program that includes online lectures and hands-on practice. The goal is to see if this approach improves their ultrasound skills and confidence, potentially filling a gap in current training options.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Peer-led point-of-care ultrasound training program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a scalable, nurse-led training model that improves diagnostic skills and professional recognition for nurse practitioners.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training's impact on actual patient outcomes is not directly measured.
