Echocardiographic Examination Performed by Nurses in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
November 5, 2021 updated by: Helse Nord-Trøndelag HF
Echocardiographic Examination Performed by Nurses in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Is it Clinical Useful?
The purpose of this study is:
- To study the clinical usefulness of nurse-performed ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations in a cardiac intensive care unit.
- To study reproducibility of nurse-performed ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations in a cardiac intensive care unit.
- To study which ultrasound measure that best correlate with the amount of pleural effusion.

Detailed Description
For a period of 1 year patients in our cardiac intensive care unit will be recruited to nurse-drive ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations, after informed consent.
Nurses underwent a training programme and their skills are approved by cardiologist.
Our department does not always have a cardiologist on duty and indication for nurse-driven ultrasound examination is decided by the doctor responsible for the treatment, who not always are trained in echocardiography/ultrasound.
We aim to study the described hypothesis.
