1,000 nurses to reveal secrets of handheld ultrasound use
NCT ID NCT07505108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will ask about 1,000 nurses and nurse practitioners in Taiwan about their use of point-of-care ultrasound (a small ultrasound device used at the bedside). The goal is to learn how much they know about it, how often they use it, and what helps or gets in the way. The results will help improve training and support for nurses using this tool.
