Can ER docs see through? ultrasound skill tested on different body types

NCT ID NCT06955013

Summary

This study aims to see how well emergency room doctors can use ultrasound machines to clearly see the layers of abdominal wall muscles. The goal is to understand if they could use this view to perform a specific type of pain-blocking injection called a TAP block. Researchers are testing this on 118 healthy adult volunteers with different body sizes to see if larger body types make it harder to get a clear picture.
