Full description
The investigators will perform a descriptive study aimed at identifying the cardiopulmonary ultrasound features in patients with or under investigation for COVID-19.
The study will take place at two sites: University of Minnesota Medical Center (UMMC) and Bethesda Hospital. At UMMC, a tertiary care center, clinicians will recruit and evaluate patients with or under investigation for COVID-19. At Bethesda clinicians will recruit and evaluate patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 as demonstrated by a positive PT-PCR.
POCUS exams will be performed in a cohort of 200-500 patients with or under investigation for COVID-19. Serial ultrasound examinations will be performed every 48-72 hours until discharge, death, or study completion. Participants will undergo POCUS at enrollment by their treating physicians. Inquiry into study enrollment will be performed over the phone rather than in person, given the current scarcity of PPE and the added use that would occur with in-person enrollment.
