Trial Outcomes & Findings for Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Abdominal Injuries in Children (NCT NCT03147690)

NCT ID: NCT03147690

Last Updated: 2021-06-11

Results Overview

During analysis, results of contrast enhanced ultrasound will be compared to results of CT scan that was performed as part of clinical care to determine if the organs identified as injured by CT were also identified as injured by CEUS.

All Study Participants
All subjects will have an abdominal non-contrast ultrasound performed. Lumason will then be administered at a dose of 0.03mL/kg up to a maximum dose of 2.4mL and a contrast-enhanced ultrasound will be performed. The dose will be given twice, for a total maximum dose per subject of 4.8mL Lumason: Lumason will be administered at a dose of 0.03 mL/kg up to a maximum dose of 2.4mL injected into a peripheral intravenous catheter. An abdominal contrast enhanced ultrasound will be performed to look for solid organ injury. The will be given twice during the intervention, for a total maximum dose per subject of 4.8mL.
