Chest Radiography Versus Ultra-Low-Dose Chest Computed Tomography in Adults in the Emergency Department
NCT07870525 · tracked via the Priya Life Science Denmark tracker
Condition(s) studied
Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
ULDCT
ULDCT: Time used to complete the radiographic procedure
Study summary
Objective: To quantify and compare total staff person-time per imaging episode betweenconventional chest radiography (CXR) and ULDCT in adult emergency department patients in whom CAP is a differential diagnosis.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients presenting to the emergency department during daytime weekday hours in whom CAP is a differential diagnosis, and who are able to undergo the assigned imaging examination.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients requiring immediate imaging for a critical condition (for example suspected pneumothorax).
* Bariatric patients exceeding the technical limits of the scanner
* Pregnancy
* Patients requiring additional imaging beyond the chest (for example abdominal CT)
* Severe dementia, or need for sedation to complete imaging
* Patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
* Patients requiring accompaniment by medical staff during transport
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Cumulative staff person-minutes per imaging episode — From admission to completon of imaging, up to 1 week.
Total human resource utilisation, defined as cumulative staff person-minutes per imaging episode, from the point staff fetch the patient for imaging to the point a final radiological report is available. The time contributed by every involved staff member is summed (multi-staff summation rule: two staff members working simultaneously for two minutes contribute four person-minutes). Contributing personnel categories: porters, radiographers, nurses, and radiologistsor reporting radiographers.
