Summary
Emergency ultrasound (EUS) training in India equipped doctors with critical skills. Participants gained confidence in using EUS for emergency department applications like FAST exams and vascular access.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Medical Education
- Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Background:
- Emergency ultrasound (EUS) is vital for critically ill patients in developed healthcare systems.
- Limited EUS adoption in India necessitates targeted training initiatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce emergency ultrasound (EUS) to emergency department (ED) physicians in India.
- To assess the feasibility and impact of an intensive EUS workshop.
Main Methods:
- A 4-day intensive adult and pediatric ultrasound workshop was conducted in New Delhi.
- Participants received didactic and hands-on training across various EUS modules.
- Evaluation included pre- and post-course surveys and a practical examination with image grading.
Main Results:
- 90% of participants successfully identified Morison's pouch (FAST exam); 76% obtained a cardiac view.
- Participants reported increased confidence and willingness to integrate EUS into practice.
- Most participants (75%) had no prior EUS experience.
Conclusions:
- The EUS workshop enhanced participants' comfort and skills in using ultrasound for ED applications.
- Participants recognized EUS utility, particularly for FAST, lung, and vascular access examinations.
- The study supports further training for non-radiologist clinicians in ED ultrasound.

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

2.7K
To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.
