A one‐day focused cardiac ultrasound training has a limited impact on residents’ abilities to visually assess right ventricular dimensions and function
Abstract:Background
Focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) is a helpful tool to rapidly identify right ventricular (RV) causes of hemodynamic instability and facilitate the initiation of therapy. The clinical value of existing course models often remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of a one‐day FCU training on the visual estimation skills of RV characteristics.
Methods
Four residents were included as the study group after completing a standardized one‐day FCU training. Four gender‐matched controls did not ta… Show more
