Summary

This trial is to test if a new ultrasound system is feasible to use in the clinical setting. There is no immediate impact or benefit for patients participating in the study, but the study could improve the use of ultrasound in the future.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Student and staff populationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

To understand the impact of ultraportable ultrasound, survey tools will be used to understand the workflow and clinical care applications and integration of these devices. All staff and student members will be appropriately consented; however, we anticipate that this portion of the study will be minimal risk.

Group II: Patient populationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

When a patient receives an ultrasound examination as part of standard of care or within another clinical research trial, such an examination may serve for an intra-individual comparator examination between conventional and new, ultra-portable ultrasound imaging. Patients will be identified in the clinical setting when appropriate and will be appropriately approached for consent for a combination of ultrasound with the physical exam, for medical student education, IV access, and novel application. Patients will be enrolled and accounted for in the appropriate sub-population.

Group III: Healthy volunteer populationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

The volunteer population will allow us to practice the use of this equipment and understand the limitations and applicability. The results will be the images acquired as well as surveys from the volunteers and those performing the scans, who will be enrolled in the staff population of this study.
