Visual estimation and EPSS methods by emergency medicine residents show a moderate positive correlation with 2D echocardiography and significant diagnostic accuracy for estimating LVEF.
Does bedside ultrasonography performed by emergency medicine residents accurately estimate left ventricular ejection fraction compared to 2D echocardiography performed by sonographers?
Bedside ultrasonography performed by emergency medicine residents is a valuable and accurate tool for the initial assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction in time-sensitive situations.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
This study demonstrates that visual estimation and EPSS methods, when performed by emergency medicine residents, exhibit a moderate positive correlation with 2D echocardiography findings. These methods offer a statistically significant diagnostic accuracy in estimating left ventricular ejection fraction, making them valuable tools for initial assessment in time-sensitive situations.
