Free Fluid Detection With Telementored eFAST
Telementored eFAST in Patients Post-Liver Surgery: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy for Detection of Free Fluid
Oslo University Hospital
40 participants
Jun 18, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This feasibility study will evaluate the accuracy of telementored eFAST (Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) in detecting abdominal free fluid in patients who have recently undergone liver surgery. The primary goal is to determine how well the remote-guided ultrasound can identify fluid accumulation compared to conventional ultrasound performed by a radiologist. Participants in this study will be examined with ultrasound, supported in real-time by a remote expert, to assess its accuracy and other relevant performance metrics.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- Patients who have undergone laparoscopic liver surgery at the Oslo university hospital and are within 72 post-surgery
Exclusion Criteria1
- Allergy to ultrasound gel. Patients colonized with ESBL, MRSA and VRE will be excluded due to infection control. Significant postoperative pain that can exacerbated by probe pressure.
