Pulse Checks Using Femoral Artery B-Mode Ultrasound With Compressibility Assessment
Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna
Summary
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate B-mode point-of care ultrasound with arterial compressibility assessment on the femoral artery as a method to determine the presence of a pulse and to compare it with concurrently conducted manual pulse checks.
