Clinical Effectiveness of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Blunt Abdominal Trauma in Young Children
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound using Lumason for Abdominal Injuries and 3 related conditions. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to generate pilot data describing test characteristics of contrast enhanced ultrasound in young children with concern for abdominal trauma. The primary objective in this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) compared to abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) in the detection of abdominal solid organ injury in young children \< 8 years of age with concern for blunt abdominal trauma.
