An database reviewed examinations used decision-making. Electronic records were then demographic characteristics, history, physical examination findings, course, additional imaging studies, ED.A total...
Abstract Background Point-of-care ultrasound is becoming a ubiquitous diagnostic tool, and there has been increasing interest to teach novice practitioners. One of the challenges scarcity qualified instructors, with COVID-19, another challenge difficulty social distancing between learners educators. The purpose our study was determine if ultrasound-naïve operators can learn techniques develop psychomotor skills acquire images after reviewing SonoSim® online modules. Methods This prospective...
Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) can be a powerful tool in the treatment of painful conditions commonly encountered emergency medicine (EM) practice. UGRA benefit patients while avoiding risks procedural sedation and opioid-based systemic analgesia. Despite these advantages, many EM trainees do not receive focused education there is no published curriculum specifically for physicians. The objective this study was to identify components
BACKGROUND: Traditionally performed using a subxiphoid approach, the increasing use of pointof-care ultrasound in emergency department has made other approaches (parasternal and apical) for pericardiocentesis viable.The aim this study is to identify ideal approach emergency-physicianperformed ultrasound-guided as determined by image quality, distance from surface pericardial fl uid, likely obstructions or complications. METHODS:A retrospective review point-of-care cardiac examinations was...
Introduction: Residency scholarly tracks are educational programs, designed to help trainees develop an area of expertise. Although the breadth residency point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education has developed considerably in recent years, there is no literature date describing specifically POCUS. In this study we sought determine prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes POCUS emergency medicine (EM). Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey EM programs accredited by Accreditation...
Introduction The objectives of this study were to determine if a multimodular introductory ultrasound course improved emergency medicine intern confidence in performing point-of-care and our educational could be met with chosen structure. Methods This is prospective, observational evaluating three consecutive incoming residency classes from programs. A one-day was delivered. consisted 1) flipped classroom didactics, 2) in-person, case-based interactive teaching sessions, 3) check-listed,...
In mid-March 2020, many North American emergency medicine (EM) physician educators found their campuses closed, educational programs canceled, and research projects furloughed as operations were directed to the clinical arena due novel coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Widespread need for personal protective equipment (PPE) viral testing led concerns over supply rationing. The value necessity ultrasound (CUS) education has not changed during pandemic arguably grown.1 COVID-19 patients...
Introduction Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks (USGPNB) are performed by various specialists and excellent, non-addicting pain control techniques. Alternative management approaches needed to combat opiate abuse. Medical students should be aware of alternative therapies before they begin clinical practice. Objective Our objective was determine if medical can identify nerves under ultrasound perform a USGPNB after one-day hands-on training session. Methods This cross-sectional study at...
Introduction The curriculum for medical student education is continuously evolving to emphasize knowledge acquisition with critical problem-solving skills. Medical schools have started implement curricula teach point-of-care ultrasound To our knowledge, the expansion into head and neck sonography novel has never been studied. Our objective was determine feasibility of implementing instruction education. Methods This a cross-sectional study enrolling third-year students minimal prior...
Arthrocentesis of the ankle and elbow brachial plexus nerve blocks are infrequently performed procedures; however, clinicians in specialties such as emergency medicine required to be proficient these procedures event emergent or urgent necessity.The objective this study was create, implement, assess a fresh cadaver-based educational model help resident physicians learn how perform ultrasound-guided arthrocentesis regional blocks.This single-center cross-sectional conducted at an academic...
To determine the feasibility of integrating pre-intubation ultrasound into airway course and assess emergency medicine (EM) residents' confidence comfort level in using for hemodynamic stabilization identifying cricothyroid membrane after training session.This is a retrospective study. Pre-intubation was delivered with following components (didactics hands-on sessions human models) to EM residents: (1) sonoanatomy scanning technique identify (2) echocardiography recognition acute right...
Endocarditis is a well-known disease, yet septic embolization resulting in myocardial infarction much rarer and very infrequently diagnosed the emergency department (ED). Point-of-Care-Ultrasound (POCUS) can be used to confirm clinical suspicion within minutes of patient presentation, thereby expediting care. We report case 26-year-old female with known intravenous drug use who presented altered mental status. Her presentation prompted urgent evaluation ED POCUS which showed hyperdynamic...
Though point-of-care ultrasound applications continue to expand, there are findings that not within the scope of emergency ultrasound. It is important for physicians be aware incidental can identified on comprehensive ultrasounds performed by other imaging departments in order fully understand limitations bedside In this case, a gravid patient presented department with pelvic cramping and vaginal bleeding. Point-of-care transabdominal examination was demonstrated cervical funneling....
