Description
Emily Woods, Trisha Nakasone, and Cybele Renault wrote a study from 2023 on how doctors decide whether to order a heart ultrasound through the throat for veterans with a blood infection. The test can spot infection on heart valves, but it is invasive and not always needed. Across 221 cases over five years, the most common reasons for skipping it were three. The patient was already responding to antibiotics. A surface ultrasound had come back negative. Or the result would not have changed treatment.
