Impact of tele-ultrasound on novice users in patients with suspected COVID-19 in an urgent care setting

T-LUS is feasible and alters clinical decision-making for novice ultrasound users in the care of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection. Our results indicated that there was a no statistically significant difference trend in CXR utilization and no improvement in length of stay by the end of the 2-week trial.

Abstract

T-LUS is feasible and alters clinical decision-making for novice ultrasound users in the care of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection. Our results indicated that there was a no statistically significant difference trend in CXR utilization and no improvement in length of stay by the end of the 2-week trial.
