POCUS Assessment of Bladder Fullness for Girls Awaiting Radiology-Performed Transabdominal Pelvic Ultrasound

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain

In brief

The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy and utility of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the bladder compared to patient's sensation of bladder fullness in predicting the ability to successfully perform a comprehensive transabdominal pelvic ultrasound in the pediatric Emergency Department (ED). We hypothesize that POCUS can more accurately and more quickly determine adequate bladder fullness to successfully perform transabdominal pelvic ultrasound than patient's perception of bladder fullness.
