On Friday 16 May at 14:00, Stig Holm Ovesen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Point-of-care Ultrasound and Dyspnea in the Emergency Department".
Dyspnea is one of the most common reasons for seeking care in emergency departments and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, it remains unclear how the diagnostic process – including the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) – best supports patient care.
A new PhD project from Aarhus University, Health, investigates the use of POCUS in the diagnostic work-up of emergency department patients presenting with dyspnea.
The dissertation includes a systematic mapping of existing studies in the field as well as a randomized clinical trial involving patients in the emergency department. The project contributes new knowledge on the role of POCUS in acute diagnostics and offers a methodological foundation for future research and clinical practice.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place at the auditorium at Horsens Regional Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
