Access to ultrasound has increased significantly in resource-limited settings, including the developing world; however, there remains a lack of sonography education and ultrasound-trained physician support countries. To further investigate this potential knowledge gap, our primary objective was assess perceived barriers use settings by surveying care providers who practice low- middle-income settings.A 25-question online survey made available health work with an machine countries (LMICs),...
The objective was to survey practicing emergency physicians (EPs) across the United States regarding frequency of using ultrasound (US) guidance in central venous catheter (CVC) placement and, secondarily, determine factors associated with use or barriers US guidance.This a cross-sectional mailed presumed EPs as part American Board Emergency Medicine (ABEM)'s longitudinal study EPs. selection process used stratified, random sampling cohorts thought represent four different stages within...
Emergency ultrasound (EUS) has been recognized as integral to the training and practice of emergency medicine (EM). The Council Medicine Residency-Academy Ultrasound (CORD-AEUS) consensus document provides guidelines for resident assessment progression. Accredited Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) adopted EM Milestones residents' progress during their residency training, which includes demonstration procedural competency in bedside ultrasound. objective this study was assess use perceptions...
To assess the ability of Army National Guard combat medics to perform a limited bedside echocardiography (BE) determine cardiac activity after brief training module. Twelve health care specialists trained level emergency medical technician-basic (EMT-B) underwent an educational session consisting 5-minute lecture on BE followed by hands-on practical training. After session, each medic performed BEs, in either subxiphoid (SX) or parasternal (PS) location at his her discretion, four healthy...
Introduction: To survey emergency physicians (EP) regarding the frequency of use ultrasound guidance for placement central venous catheters (UGCVC) and to assess their perceptions technique barriers its implementation.Methods: A 25-question Web-based was e-mailed all members Colorado chapter American College Emergency Physicians with a listed e-mail address. total 3 reminderswere sent nonresponders.Results: Responses were received from 116 out 330 invitations. Ninety-seven percent (n¼112)...
Introduction: Late obstetric emergencies are time critical presentations in the emergency department. Evaluation to ensure safety of mother and child includes rapid assessment fetal viability, heart rate (FHR), lie, estimated gestational age (EGA). Point-of-care (POC) ultrasound (OBUS) offers advantage being able provide all these measurements. We studied impact POC OBUS training on physician (EP) confidence, knowledge, skill performance a live model.Methods: This is prospective...
To determine whether sterile saline as a conduction agent provides adequate visualization of anatomic structures to attempt ultrasound-guided vascular access.This prospective study involved convenience sample adult patients (18 years and older) who presented an urban academic ED during 3-month period. Each patient had three six-second ultrasound video clips obtained the right internal jugular vein surrounding utilizing different agents, water-based gel (the control), or no agent. Video were...
Audience: This curriculum was developed for emergency medicine (EM) residents at the post-graduate year (PGY) 1-4 level, and attending EM physicians.It may be adapted training of any healthcare provider or learner who might required to perform an cricothyrotomy, including medical technicians, senior students, advanced practice providers (ie, nurse practitioners physician assistants); however, we did not specifically validate it these providers. SMALLgroupsin, review of, EC, intended...
A 31-year-old male presented ambulatory to the emergency department complaining of sudden-onset sharp lower abdominal pain that started 2 days prior presentation, while patient was throwing a football. The localized surgical scar, where he had undergone laparotomy for gunshot wound 1 year previously. On examination, appeared generally well, and vital signs were within normal range. His exam significant healed midline with 1-cm tender bluish-white nodule confines scar (Figure 1). Bowel sounds...
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening, time-sensitive emergency. Conventional diagnostic imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) can be time-consuming to obtain, and require that the patient leave emergency department (ED); such, they are unsuitable for unstable patients. Emergency focused transthoracic echocardiography (ETTE) commonly performed in ED part of evaluation presenting with chest pain, but suprasternal notch view (SSNV) much less well-known infrequently included...
Introduction: Emergency Ultrasound (EUS) is a vital tool for the diagnosis and management of emergency department patients.EUS training mandated by Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) all Medicine (EM) residencies each program required to assess resident competence in EUS.We sought determine EM residents at new residency center evaluating technical accuracy after initial EUS training. Methods:We conducted retrospective review ultrasound images saved before resident's...
