Study Details

This study will include approximately 50 patients who will be enrolled if there is suspicion of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Each patient will receive a point-of-care ultrasound performed by physicians in an outpatient clinic. All patients will receive a subsequent confirmatory gold standard venous duplex ultrasonography. The investigators will compare time to diagnosis and treatment initiation and evaluate short-term clinical outcomes, including pulmonary embolism, hospitalization, ICU care, and mortality.

  Patient who is high risk for DVT had a positive POCUS study in office was referred for STAT DVT study.
• Experimental: POCUS positive, Low risk, STAT DVT
  Patient who is low risk for DVT had a positive POCUS study in office was referred for STAT DVT study.
• Experimental: POCUS negative, High risk, STAT DVT
  Patient who is high risk for DVT had a negative POCUS study in office was referred for STAT DVT study.
• Experimental: POCUS negative, Low risk, Routine DVT
  Patient who is low risk for DVT had a negative POCUS study in office was referred for routine DVT study.
