Sponsor's own description
Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is a rapidly evolving method of clinical assessment within the intensive care unit (ICU) with training predominantly aimed at physicians. Routine whole-body PoCUS (lungs, heart, abdomen and blood vessels) when conducted by physicians benefits patient care and outcomes including reducing the risk of prolonged ICU stay (\>7 days) and mechanical ventilation as well as reducing utilisation of other diagnostic tests. However, physician-only use of PoCUS does not allow for use as a routine assessment method in the ICU due to the low physician to patient ratio and poor ultrasound accreditation rate. Providing other healthcare professionals such as Advanced Critical Care Practitioners (ACCPs), ICU nurses and physiotherapists with PoCUS skills increases the proportion of trained staff to perform routine PoCUS in the ICU. This could aid earlier identification of abnormal pathology, earlier treatment, and prevent patient deterioration. The advancement of handheld PoCUS technology is making ultrasound more portable, cheaper and easier to use. The increased accessibility of PoCUS combined with growing evidence of its diagnostic accuracy compared to other modes of imaging means PoCUS use is gaining traction globally. However, little to no research exists investigating the feasibility of implementing scheduled interprofessional PoCUS in the ICU and its impact on patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a quick and simple whole body ultrasound scan performed by trained ACCPs, ICU nurses, physiotherapists, and doctors at set time points throughout the patients ICU stay. The investigators want to find out the most common barriers and facilitators to intervention implementation and to explore the key clinical outcomes for use in a future definitive RCT.
