Current Projects
Does the presence of hydronephrosis on ultrasound in cases of urinary
retention correlate with abnormal labs (specifically potassium and
creatinine)?
Use of ultrasonography in improving first-attempts in central venous
line placement
Randomized trial of LP using ultrasound preview vs. no ultrasound in
decreasing difficult LP
Derivation of a decision rule to determine the need for imaging in
suspected renal colic
