Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Length of Stay in the Emergency Department (ED)
Length of stay in the ED will be calculated from time of first provider contact to time of discharge from the ED.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a 6 item scale. Each item is rated from 1 (extremely dissatisfied) to 5 (extremely satisfied). Scores are summed yielding scores ranging from 6 (most dissatisfied) to 30 (most satisfied).
Time to Diagnosis
Time to diagnosis will be calculated from time of first provider contact to time of x-ray or time of ultrasound per treatment condition
Confirmation of Reduction
As documented by x-ray or ultrasound per treatment condition
Cost of Treatment
Calculated as total billing cost of procedures related to shoulder dislocation ED visit
Total Number of Xrays
Total number of xrays ordered during time in ED

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if using ultrasound to diagnosis and confirm reductions of shoulder dislocations impacts the length of an emergency department visit for this condition.
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to determine if the length of the emergency department visit can be decreased and if patient exposure to x-rays can be reduced by utilizing an ultrasound to diagnose and confirm reduction in shoulder dislocations. This study also seeks to determine if patients prefer ultrasound to x-ray when used to treat their shoulder dislocation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either x-rays or ultrasound for the diagnosis and reduction confirmation of your shoulder dislocation. Participant's shoulder dislocation will be treated per standard of care. Participants will be asked to complete a short survey at the end of their visit.
