Can a heart ultrasound sim speed up lifesaving treatment?
NCT ID NCT07592598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special simulation training program for emergency doctors can help them use heart ultrasound more effectively in patients with acute heart failure. The goal is to see if this training leads to faster treatment with diuretics, which help remove excess fluid. About 175 emergency medicine providers will take part, and the study will measure how quickly patients receive the right medication.
