The INSIGHT Feasibility Study Ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit: A Randomised Controlled Feasibility Trial

"The INSIGHT Scan is a whole-body PoCUS scan which comprises imaging the following windows:~1. subcostal~2. inferior vena cava cardiac view~3. left hemidiaphragm~4. bladder~5. right hemidiaphragm~6. six major central veins (left/right internal jugular/ subclavian/ femoral veins)~The scan should take no more than 10 minutes to perform. Simple yes/no questions are asked for each window to identify any significant abnormalities. For example, is the left ventricle bigger than the right ventricle; is there a pleural effusion; is the bladder distended etc.~The scan is reported in the intensive care online medical notes and reviewed by the clinical team as soon as possible."
