CUPID_EMS Trial Summary

This trial found that cPOCUS, or portable ultrasound performed by emergency medical technicians, can help diagnose ICH in the field.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults who EMS providers think might be having a stroke or brain hemorrhage, and are being taken to the emergency department. It's not for people under 18, prisoners, those with head injuries from penetration or scalp wounds, or if an ultrasound could interfere with their care.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether paramedics can use a portable ultrasound device (cPOCUS) on the way to the hospital to diagnose acute bleeding inside the brain (ICH).See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are generally no side effects associated with cranial point of care ultrasounds as they are non-invasive imaging tests. However, there may be discomfort due to pressure from the ultrasound probe.
