All 28 eligible Emergency Departments participated in the first part of the study (Response Rate (RR): 100%). 25 EDs (89%, 95% CI: 85-93) had ultrasound equipment available
Questionnaires were distributed to 1,872 physicians in these departments and 561 responded (RR: 30%, 95% CI: 28-32)
Summary
Emergency Ultrasound is a relatively new diagnostic discipline. It is used as an extension of the clinical examination and is ideal in the setting of acute illness. The objective of this study was to investigate how many Emergency Departments (ED) in Denmark have implemented emergency ultrasound. We wanted to give an idea of how many and which physicians have adopted ultrasound as a diagnostic tool so far
