Telementored eFAST in Patients Post-Liver Surgery: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy for Detection of Free Fluid
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This feasibility study will evaluate the accuracy of telementored eFAST (Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) in detecting abdominal free fluid in patients who have recently undergone liver surgery. The primary goal is to determine how well the remote-guided ultrasound can identify fluid accumulation compared to conventional ultrasound performed by a radiologist. Participants in this study will be examined with ultrasound, supported in real-time by a remote expert, to assess its accuracy and other relevant performance metrics.
