Background: Ultrasound guidance is an important technique to improve the success rate of internal jugular vein catheterization (IJVC) at the first-attempt, however, both long-axis in-plane and short-axis out-of-plane techniques have their own disadvantages. The T-shaped ultrasonic probe invented by us combined with the help of laser positioning and 3D printing manipulator could realize real-time bi-plane guidance of the needle short-axis out-of-plane and long-axis in-plane. With the help of the Single-operator Laser-assisted T-shaped probe, the whole process of needle insertion, guide wire placement and catheter placement can be visualized, which is expected to improve the success rate on the first-attempt. Objective: The primary outcome was the first-attempt success rate of initial RIJV catheterization without complications. The completion of the catheterization was defined as the presentation of the CVP waveform on the monitor. The secondary outcomes included first-attempt puncture success rate,first-attempt catheterisation success rate,overall catheterisation success rate,first-attempt needle tip location,first-attempt needle tip midline placement rate,number of needle direction adjustments,number of ultrasound probe repositionings, number of puncture attempts,first-attempt localisation time,first-attempt guidewire insertion success time,overall catheterisation success time. Design, Setting, and Participants: This single-center, prospective, parallel-group, randomized controlled study enrolled surgical patients over 18 years and older (ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ) who required IJVC ,fully understands the benefits and risks of the study, participates voluntarily, and signs the informed consent form in the First Hospital of Jilin University. The exclusion criteria were congenital abnormal development of the internal jugular vein; prior puncture at the same site last month; puncture site injury, infection, or hematoma; right neck surgery history and neck fixation due to surgery or injury. The participants were randomized into the traditional ultrasound-guidance group or the single-operator Laser-assisted T-shaped probe ultrasound-guidance group. After inducing general anesthesia, ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein catheterization was performed by the experienced operators. Interventions: 352 patients were stratified into eight subgroups based on whether common carotid artery coverage exceeded 50% ,internal jugular vein depth exceeded 10mm , and internal jugular vein anteroposterior diameter exceeded 10mm . Each subgroup generated an independent randomisation sequence according to the block randomisation principle (T-mode ultrasound-guided group and 'long-axis plane' ultrasound-guided group). Upon enrolment, new subjects were assigned to corresponding subgroups based on stratification factors. Within each subgroup's dedicated random sequence, the allocation plan (T-shaped ultrasound guidance group or 'long-axis plane' ultrasound guidance group) was sequentially retrieved and marked. The next subject in that subgroup would receive the subsequent plan in the sequence. The operating team comprised six physicians (including two residents, two specialists, and two anaesthesiologists), who were not involved in other aspects of the study. Given the significant technical differences between the two approaches, the operators, equipment assistants, and research assistants were aware of the groupings. Conversely, participants' families were unaware of the groupings and could withdraw from the trial at any time. All data were collected and analysed by the same research assistant.
NCT07601542
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the ultrasound-assisted technique improves the accuracy and safety of spinal anesthesia compared to the traditional landmark technique in obese women undergoing a cesarean section. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the ultrasound-assisted technique reduce the number of needle attempts required for successful spinal anesthesia? Does the ultrasound-assisted technique decrease the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) and chronic low back pain at the needle insertion site? Does the ultrasound-assisted technique reduce procedure time compared to the landmark technique? Participants will: Receive spinal anesthesia using either the ultrasound-assisted technique or the traditional landmark technique for cesarean section. Be monitored for the number of needle attempts, procedure time, and any post-operative complications such as PDPH or low back pain. Follow up for three months after the procedure to assess any long-term effects, including chronic low back pain and quality of life.

Preoperative evaluation of stomach fullness with ultrasound in children who will undergo anesthesia outside the operating room
NCT05538286
Postoperative rebleeding is a major limitation of surgical evacuation for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). While computed tomography (CT) is the standard of care for postoperative hematoma cavity monitoring, CT requires significant physical and financial costs. Studies have demonstrated varying degrees of efficacy when using transcranial ultrasound to measure ICH volume. Recently, synthetic implants for cranioplasty have been shown to be safe and sonolucent. This study aims to evaluate the ability of transcranial ultrasound with sonolucent cranioplasty (TUSC) to detect and quantify bleeding in postoperative ICH patients.
NCT07545161
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two physical therapy treatments in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CTS is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand. The main question this study aims to answer is: Does pulsed ultrasound or pulsed shortwave diathermy lead to greater improvement in symptoms and nerve swelling when added to standard treatment? All participants will receive standard conservative treatment, including a wrist splint and nerve and tendon gliding exercises for three weeks. In addition, participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the following treatments: Pulsed therapeutic ultrasound (US) Pulsed shortwave diathermy (SWD) Researchers will measure changes in hand symptoms, pain levels, grip strength, and the size of the median nerve using ultrasound imaging. Assessments will be performed before treatment, and at 1 month and 3 months after treatment. The primary outcome of the study is the change in median nerve cross-sectional area at 3 months.
NCT06836583
The primary aim of this study is to compare the effect of bilateral US guided percutaneous PPFB versus transnasal approach on intraoperative anaesthetic requirements (guided by entropy) in patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of pituitary gland surgery in conjucation with general anaesthesia (GA).Secondary aims: total dose of intraoperative dexmedetomidine, intraoperative analgesia (fentanyl), haemodynamics, the surgical field conditions, recovery pattern, and side effects
NCT07536087
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) in the treatment of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) in patients who are not suitable candidates for surgical treatment or who refuse surgery. EUS-RFA, as a minimally invasive therapeutic option, may potentially reduce the need for intensive imaging surveillance, prevent further progression of these lesions, and serve as a bridging therapy in selected patients for whom surgical intervention may be considered in the future. At the same time, EUS-RFA could contribute to reducing overtreatment, thereby lowering the risk of complications associated with surgical procedures and leading to an overall reduction in healthcare costs. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety profile of EUS-RFA, including the incidence and severity of adverse events both in the early postoperative period and during the first year of follow-up, as well as to assess the long-term efficacy of EUS-RFA, including disease progression.

Pneumonia is a major cause of illness and death in children, with an annual incidence of about 3.3 per 1,000 in those under five years old, many requiring hospitalization. The diagnosis is challenging due to the absence of a universally accepted gold standard, leading to variability in emergency settings. Current guidelines recommend diagnosis based on history and physical examination, which do not reliably differentiate pneumonia from other respiratory infections or identify whether it is bacterial or viral in nature. This uncertainty can lead to the unnecessary use of antibiotics. Commonly used chest X-rays have limitations such as low sensitivity, moderate interobserver reliability, and the inability to distinguish bacterial from viral pneumonia. In contrast, lung ultrasound has shown high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing pneumonia in children. However, lung ultrasound also cannot reliably distinguish between bacterial and viral causes and might lead to increased antibiotic prescriptions by detecting minor lung consolidations not seen on chest X-rays. Despite these issues, lung ultrasound is widely used in pediatric pulmonary assessment. The primary objective of the study is to determine if using lung ultrasound for diagnosing pneumonia in children can reduce antibiotic prescriptions compared to the standard care approach-which mainly relies on clinical diagnosis (often supplemented by chest X-ray and blood tests in selected cases). The secondary objective is to assess how frequently lung ultrasound impacts management decisions during a single clinical visit, beyond the information provided by history and physical examination. The third objective is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound-supported diagnosis with existing diagnostic methods. The study hypothesizes that lung ultrasound results can act as a decision modifier, similar to other clinical tools and examination findings. However, a lack of consensus on specific lung ultrasound parameters and their clinical correlations contributes to variability in managing suspected pneumonia, potentially leading to antibiotic overuse. Eligible participants are children aged three to ten years who are in good general condition and clinically stable, presenting with signs and symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection indicative of pneumonia. Exclusion criteria include children outside the specified age range, those recently hospitalized, those who have undergone prior chest imaging, those already on antibiotic therapy, those with severe clinical instability, and those with underlying conditions predisposing them to severe or recurrent pneumonia. These criteria help ensure that the study population represents general pediatric community-acquired pneumonia cases, avoiding biases from high-risk patients. The ultimate goal of this study is to provide evidence on whether lung ultrasound can serve as a reliable tool to guide antibiotic prescriptions, thereby reducing unnecessary antibiotic use in the management of pediatric pneumonia.
NCT06954870
Lipedema is a disease characterized by enlargement of the subcutaneous tissue and is observed only in the female population. Recently, the inflammatory cascade has been suggested to be the initiator of lipoedema and to play a role in its progression. The presence of pain in the involved areas is the most important symptom affecting the patient's QoL. In the literature, ozone therapy is used both locally and systemically in many diseases in which inflammation is involved in the etiopathogenesis. There are many studies on plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc. In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, ozone therapy, which has analgesic and aseptic properties, has not been found in the literature in patients with lipedema. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ozone therapy on pain symptoms and subcutaneous tissue thickness in patients with lipedema and to compare local and systemic ozone applications in these patients.

Axillary ultrasound scan (AUS) is routinely employed in the UK for preoperative axillary staging and can diagnose approximately 50 - 80% of node positive patients when combined with percutaneous needle biopsy techniques (either core-biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology). It is recognised that nodal burden is generally higher in clinically node negative patients with abnormal nodes on AUS and confirmed on needle-biopsy to be histologically positive than patients diagnosed as node positive on sentinel node biopsy (SNB). However, up to 40% of biopsy-proven node positive patients are found to have fewer than 3 involved nodes on subsequent axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and are potential candidates for less extensive axillary surgery with axillary radiotherapy (ART) rather than ALND. The total number of abnormal nodes on ultrasound is a key predictor of overall nodal tumour burden. The AMAROS and OTOASOR trials randomised patients with up to 2 positive sentinel nodes to either ALND or ART. These trials were conducted around the turn of the millennium and before routine use of AUS and therefore would have included a significant number of patients who were radiologically node positive (cN1). Likewise, the ACOSOG Z0011 trial that randomised a similar group of patients to either ALND or observation only, did not incorporate routine AUS and would have included some (radiological) cN1 patients. These trials revealed no adverse impact on disease-free or overall survival from omission of completion ALND. Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) was introduced a few years ago to reduce the false negative rate of SNB following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and has been standardised as part of the ongoing ATNEC trial \[ClinicalTrials.govNCT04109079\]. This technique for axillary staging after NACT is increasingly being adopted in the UK and elsewhere. TAD is technically more straightforward and less challenging in patients undergoing primary surgery with no concerns about clip migration consequent to nodal shrinkage as part of treatment response to NACT. Furthermore, the risk of under-treating the axilla is offset by the protocol: if no disease is identified in the targeted nodes (false-negative case), then patients proceed to ALND, thereby ensuring adequate treatment. Unlike TAD following NACT, the presence of viable tumour within the sampled nodes is mandatory and finding fibrosis is irrelevant except as a response to nodal biopsy per se. Current ASCO guidelines support both SNB and TAD as staging options for patients with ultrasound-detected, biopsy-confirmed nodal disease. The Edinburgh randomised trials comparing four-node sampling with ALND demonstrated significantly lower arm morbidity with node sampling, supporting TAD as a clinically appropriate alternative in this patient population. The UK-ANZ POSNOC trial randomised 1,900 patients with \<3 macrometastases to either no further axillary treatment or additional axillary treatment. The study included cN1 patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastases who underwent sentinel node biopsy or TAD. Patients with \<3 macrometastases on final histology were randomised to receive no further axillary treatment or proceed with additional axillary treatment (ALND or ART). POSNOC trial will answer whether further axillary treatment provides any benefit in patients with low volume nodal disease on SNB or TAD. Notably, patients with biopsy-confirmed metastases and \<3 macrometastases on SNB/TAD are biologically and clinically similar to patients with normal AUS who are later found to have low-volume disease on SNB. Clinical decision-making and patient outcomes are driven by tumour biology and overall disease burden rather than the method of nodal disease detection. Furthermore, AUS sensitivity is operator dependent and whether FNA or core biopsy was used to sample the node. A patient considered node negative on AUS by one radiologist may be diagnosed with core biopsy confirmed nodal metastases with another radiologist. Pending the results of POSNOC trial, patients with less than 3 macrometastases are generally advised further axillary treatment, and ART is preferred over ALND to reduce the risk of lymphoedema. NodeSMART is a prospective audit collecting data on patients undergoing TAD in the primary surgery setting. Its goal is to audit surgical outcomes and benchmark them against - a) Comparing technical outcomes with those from sentinel node biopsy in the primary surgery setting and TAD performed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. b) Assessing rates of arm lymphoedema and disease progression relative to findings from the AMAROS and Z11 trials, and the POSNOC trial once results are available. The term "Targeted Axillary Dissection" is somewhat misleading in this context, as the marked (biopsied) node is removed alongside sentinel nodes - not in isolation. NodeSMART therefore refers to the procedure more accurately as Targeted Sentinel Node Biopsy (TSNB).

Subglottic suctioning, as an important airway management technique, has its operational accuracy and safety directly impacting patient prognosis. Therefore, improving the effectiveness and safety of subglottic suctioning has become a focus of clinical attention. Point-of-care ultrasound, which can provide imaging, can be used to guide subglottic suctioning, enhancing the intuitiveness of the procedure. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of subglottic suctioning guided by point-of-care ultrasound in mechanically ventilated patients, in order to help standardize clinical practice and improve medical quality.

This observational study examines changes in the median nerve in patients diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using shear wave elastography, microvascular imaging, and cross-sectional area measurements. It also compares the individual and combined effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus, DPN, and CTS on symptoms and hand function.
NCT07492862
Porto-sinusoidal vascular disease (PSVD) is a rare clinical entity characterized by significant portal hypertension in the absence of cirrhosis on liver histology, which may or may not show specific alterations of the portal vein, sinusoids, or hepatic lobular architecture. Currently, diagnosis of this condition necessarily requires a liver biopsy and, despite some differences detected on imaging studies-and particularly on liver and spleen elastography-PSVD remains indistinguishable from cirrhosis using non-invasive tests. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an easy-to-perform, repeatable, and cost-effective examination that enables real-time assessment of parenchymal or focal liver lesion perfusion. Moreover, the application of dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US-i.e., contrast-enhanced ultrasound followed by quantitative perfusion analysis using dedicated software, such as the VueBox Software that will be used in this study) allows integration of CEUS qualitative assessment with quantitative evaluation of tissue perfusion through analysis of time-intensity curves generated during contrast transit. From this analysis, several perfusion-related parameters can be derived (for example, peak enhancement, time to peak, or area under the curve), which have already proven useful in improving differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions and in predicting treatment response and systemic therapy outcomes. To date, the use of DCE-US for the diagnosis of PSVD has not yet been described; however, based on the underlying histological alterations associated with this disease, it is reasonable to hypothesize that parameters obtained with this technique in the liver parenchyma of patients with PSVD may differ from those measured in patients with liver cirrhosis. The aim of the present project is to apply DCE-US in patients with PSVD and in patients with cirrhosis to evaluate potential significant differences in perfusion parameters, and to assess the feasibility of a non-invasive differential diagnosis between the two conditions using this technique in combination with elastography and bidimensional ultrasound data to develop a multiparametric diagnostic score.

This three-year research project aims to test the hypothesis that strain and displacement characteristics of human soft tissues are influenced by (1) habitual physical activity, (2) functional impairment, and (3) training interventions. Over the three years, the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow, the ankle tendon, and the hamstring muscles will be investigated sequentially. Ultrasound speckle-tracking techniques will be employed to verify these hypotheses and to provide a basis for clinical risk assessment of injury, development of therapeutic strategies, and evaluation of rehabilitation outcomes. In the first year, strain and displacement of the medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) in both longitudinal and transverse directions during passive isokinetic elbow valgus loading will be analyzed in baseball pitchers at high and low injury risk and in healthy controls. The results will be compared with ultrasonic shear-wave elastography. Participants will then undergo an 8-week low- to moderate-intensity blood-flow restriction resistance training program. This phase is expected to characterize ligament mechanical adaptations to long-term sports training, elucidate the relationship between such adaptations and injury risk, and evaluate the effects of resistance training on enhancing medial elbow joint stability. In the second year, individuals with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and healthy controls will be examined. Longitudinal strain and displacement, as well as transverse rotation and displacement of the tibialis posterior tendon during active ankle movements will be quantified and compared with shear-wave elastography measurements. These results are expected to clarify the relationship between tendon strain-displacement behavior and tendon dysfunction, provide mechanistic insights into tendon pathology, and inform optimal therapeutic strategies. In the third year, patients following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction will be investigated. Longitudinal strain and displacement of the hamstring graft donor site, specifically the semitendinosus muscle-tendon unit, following eccentric training will be assessed and compared with shear-wave elastography and electromyography. This phase is expected to characterize post-harvest semitendinosus muscle activity patterns and their associations with postoperative muscle strength deficits. By integrating findings across the three phases, the anticipated clinical implications of this project include determining whether: 1. adaptive responses of ligaments to repetitive tensile loading during long-term sports participation (including strain behavior and mechanical properties) can serve as screening indicators for injury risk, and evaluating the effects of blood-flow restriction resistance training in these populations; 2. three-dimensional strain, displacement, and rotation of tendons in response to muscle contraction and joint motion are associated with tendon dysfunction; and 3. strain and displacement characteristics of the semitendinosus muscle (in relation to muscle recruitment) can be improved through postoperative functional training following its use as a graft source.

Assessment of muscle mass in critically ill patients is critical for both improving clinical outcomes and monitoring the effectiveness of nutritional interventions. Loss of muscle mass is associated with mortality and morbidity in the elderly, including organ transplantation, trauma, and sepsis. Previous studies have assessed muscle mass using computed tomography. The use of computed tomography is costly, carries radiation risks, and requires the patient to be transported to a CT scanner. In contrast, ultrasonography is a noninvasive, rapid, and bedside method without radiation exposure. In particular, anterior thigh muscle thickness (ATMT) stands out as a reliable biomarker in the assessment of muscle mass. ATMT measurement includes the assessment of the combined depth of the vastus intermedius and rectus femoris muscles in the anterior thigh. There is no study in the literature examining the effects of anterior thigh muscle thickness measured by ultrasonography on malnutrition and frailty in intensive care patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of anterior thigh muscle thickness on frailty, malnutrition and length of stay in intensive care patients.
NCT06307704
There is an increasing trend in the use of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy or cystectomy (RARPC). Preventing lung atelectasis without inducing overdistention of the lung is challenging. Many studies tried to optimize PEEP titration by using methods such as dead space fraction guided and static pulmonary compliance directed techniques, or by using electrical impedance tomography. However, the use of these methods is limited by inaccuracy and the need for sophisticated devices. Bedside Lung ultrasound is fast, easy and economic technique that is gaining interest in the operating room. Ultrasound-guided PEEP titration has been used in bariatric surgeries (different position and usually shorter procedure time) and proved effective in improving oxygenation, compliance and reducing the incidence of postoperative pulmonary atelectasis and hypoxia without causing hemodynamic instability. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative individualized lung ultrasound-guided stepwise PEEP optimization in patients undergoing RARPC on oxygenation, intraoperative and early postoperative pulmonary complications.
NCT07469722
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a frequent cause of hospitalization and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Congestion is the primary pathophysiological mechanism leading to clinical deterioration and hospitalization in ADHF. Diuretics remain the cornerstone of treatment for most ADHF phenotypes; however, evidence regarding optimal strategies to guide diuretic therapy during the decongestion process is limited. Recently, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a promising tool to support clinical assessment in ADHF, improving diagnostic accuracy, prognostication, and pre-discharge evaluation. Nevertheless, the role of POCUS in guiding therapeutic management in ADHF remains uncertain. To specifically assess congestion in patients with ADHF, a pragmatic POCUS-based score, the Dynamic Ultrasound Congestion Score (DUCS), was developed. DUCS integrates lung ultrasound and Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) to dynamically evaluate congestion severity, treatment response, and therapeutic goals during ADHF management. Observational data suggest that DUCS is associated with in-hospital outcomes and short-term prognosis, and correlates with markers of decongestion such as urinary output and weight loss. This study is a randomized, single-center, single-blind clinical trial designed to evaluate whether a DUCS-guided POCUS strategy improves clinical and decongestion outcomes compared with standard of care. Eligible patients hospitalized due to ADHF will be randomized within 48 hours of admission to one of two groups: (1) diuretic treatment guided by institutional standard-of-care combined with information from the EVEREST congestion score assessment and guideline-based treatment recommendations; or (2) diuretic treatment guided by serial DUCS-based POCUS assessments used to inform diuretic adjustment recommendations. Participants in both groups will undergo evaluations at baseline (day 1), day 2, day 3 and day 5, including clinical data collection, physical examination using the EVEREST congestion score, and standardized DUCS-based POCUS assessments. Outcomes to be assessed include in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, decongestion parameters, and changes in biomarkers.
NCT07286591
The second-trimester morphology ultrasound is a key examination in obstetric monitoring that aims to assess fetal growth, identify any structural abnormalities, and inspect anexes such as placenta, umbilical cord, cervix,... Several studies suggest that a significant proportion of fetal malformations can be detected during this time frame if a complete morphological analysis is performed. However, the reliability of the screening depends on the quality of the equipment, the operator's level of expertise, and adherence to protocols that define the necessary scans. In France, since the first reports of the National Technical Committee on Prenatal Screening Ultrasound (2005), particular attention has been paid to standardizing practices. More recently, the French National Conference on Obstetric and Fetal Ultrasound (CNEOF) published new recommendations (2022, revised in 2023) including the development of reference silhouettes for the second-trimester examination, proposing 26 views (22 required and 4 additional). However, the CNEOF does not formalize quality criteria for evaluating the conformity of these images; this task has been taken over by the French College of Fetal Ultrasound (CFEF), which has established a scoring and validation grid for each fetal slice (see CFEF 2022 document). In parallel, artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually becoming established as a decision support and automation tool in medical imaging, particularly in ultrasound. Deep learning algorithms are capable of identifying anatomical structures, positioning measurement markers, and selecting the most optimal slice, reducing inter-operator variability and streamlining workflow. In the field of obstetric ultrasound, some companies have launched systems capable of detecting or annotating fetal structures in real time, potentially improving diagnostic reliability and reproducibility. Samsung has developed a system called Live View Assist, available on its latest generation ultrasound scanners, which uses AI to automatically recognize and freeze the required fetal slices in real time. The tool also offers automated validation: if the detected slice conforms to the expected standards, it is directly checked off on a checklist. This innovation promises time savings, a reduced risk of missing certain complex slices, and improved standardization. However, there is little data, particularly in France, regarding to the actual performance of this tool in a routine screening context. Before considering the integration of Live View Assist and AI into daily practice, it is therefore essential to evaluate the quality of the images it acquires, the feasibility of a complete examination assisted by AI, as well as the potential impact on examination time and improvement of the workload for sonographers. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the quality of the 20 mandatory images automatically validated by Live View Assist is not inferior to that of the 20 mandatory images acquired and validated manually by an ultrasound technician, according to the CFEF quality criteria based on the silhouettes recommended by the CNEOF.
