Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not furosemide causes the bladder to fill faster than IV fluids alone so that a pelvic ultrasound exam can be performed.
Detailed Description:
Trans-abdominal pelvic ultrasound is the standard imaging modality for diagnosis of ovarian torsion in the pediatric population, however this requires that the patient have a full bladder at the time of imaging. This study will investigate whether low dose furosemide in addition to IV fluid boluses may provide a fast, effective, and non-invasive means to fill the bladder of pediatric females awaiting pelvic US. The target population are females age 8 to 18 years seen in the emergency room at Connecticut Children's Medical Center who are undergoing a trans-abdominal pelvic ultrasound to assess for ovarian torsion. Enrolled patients will be randomized to the control (IVF bolus only) group vs. the intervention (IVF bolus + furosemide) group and will undergo point-of-care US (POCUS) and bladder scanner evaluation of the bladder every 30 minutes until the bladder is determined to be full.
