“…There is some data in the literature regarding the usefulness of teaching POCUS in critical care patients using SBME [9,11,13,14]. There are clear benefits of SBME that translate to increased favorable clinical outcomes, increased self-confidence, and reduced errors [15]. The transition from simulation to clinical practice is another important step in medical education.…”

Critically ill patients with rapidly deteriorating clinical status secondary to respiratory and cardio-vascular compromise are at risk for immediate collapse if the underlying pathology is not recognized and treated. Rapid diagnosis is of utmost importance regardless of the setting. Although there are data to support the use of point-of-care ultrasound in critical patients, there is no consensus about the best educational strategy to implement. We designed a curriculum based on the ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) protocol that covers essential airway, lung, and cardiac ultrasound skills needed for fast diagnosis in critical patients and applied it in high-fidelity simulation-based medical education sessions for anesthesia and intensive care residents year one and two. After theoretical and practical assessments, our results show statistical differences in the theoretical knowledge and above-average results in practical assessment. Our proposed curriculum based on a simple ABC POCUS protocol, with an Airway, Breathing, and Circulation approach, is useful in teaching ultrasound basics regarding airway, lung, and cardiac examination using high-fidelity simulation training to anesthesia and intensive care residents, but further research is needed to establish the utility of Simulation-Based Medical Education in Point of Care Ultrasound in the critical patient.

“…Some drawbacks are explained by lack of facility, lack of time for the sessions to occur, and lack of trainers. The existence of specialized anesthesia simulation departments with specific personnel correlates better with attendance [15].…”
