Study Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the use of coconut oil with commercial ultrasound gel for obstetrical ultrasounds. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the quality of ultrasound images obtained using coconut oil compared with commercial ultrasound gel. 2. To access patient acceptability of coconut oil as compared to commercial ultrasound gel. Participants will: 1. Allow a total of 6 study images to be obtained; 3 using coconut oil and 3 with commercial ultrasound gel. 2. Fill out a 10-question, 5-point Likert scale survey following their ultrasound with both coupling mediums to compare acceptability.
Primary Outcome
The quality of ultrasound images obtained using coconut oil compared with commercial ultrasound gel was assessed using a quantifiable scale developed for this study (0-25: unacceptable, 26-50: suboptimal, 51-75: acceptable, and 76-100: optimal). Using Viewpoint (GE Healthcare), an ultrasound viewing software, the six study images for each patient were presented in the order of coupling agent each patient was randomized to first and second. Each set of three images per coupling agent was in the f
