What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Time to Completion of Point of Care Ultrasound in Emergency Room and Lower Extremity Doppler Prior to Disposition
Completion time in minutes for point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the emergency department followed by formal lower extremity (LE) doppler in radiology department prior to patient disposition from emergency department.
Measured: Emergency Department admission to Disposition from Emergency Department

Secondary outcomes (1)

Accuracy of POCUS vs Formal Lower Extremity Doppler
The accuracy of POCUS vs formal doppler in making the diagnosis of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in the number of participants who completed the study.
Measured: Upon completion of POCUS and formal lower extremity doppler until disposition from Emergency Department
