Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

434
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

6.4K
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.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion01:18

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion

729
Percussion is a fundamental technique used to assess the liver, spleen, and abdominal organs by tapping the abdomen and interpreting the resulting sounds. This method helps identify fluid, distention, and masses through variations in sound, such as the high-pitched tympany of air-filled areas and the dullness of solid masses. Understanding how to percuss these organs provides valuable information for healthcare professionals in diagnosing conditions early.
Percussion
Percussion is an essential...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System II:Types of Echocardiography

408
Echocardiography plays a role in assessing cardiac health and detecting heart conditions, with various types providing critical insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Obstetric Ultrasound
  • Medical Training Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Currently, there are no established guidelines for obstetric ultrasound training at the core medical student clerkship level.
  • Medical students require standardized training in essential obstetric ultrasound skills for effective prenatal care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop practical, consensus-based learning objectives for second- and third-trimester obstetric ultrasound.
  • To assess the feasibility of implementing these objectives into a clinical medical student curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi approach was used with a panel of 23 expert stakeholders to reach consensus on learning objectives.
  • A model curriculum including a video tutorial and in-person training was piloted at two academic medical centers.
  • Participant perceptions of acquired skills and program effectiveness were assessed via a validated survey.

Main Results:

  • Consensus was reached on five key learning objectives, including fetal presentation, placental location, and biophysical profile assessment.
  • A majority of the 26 participating students reported improved confidence in performing prenatal ultrasounds (p < 0.05).
  • Participants highly valued the hands-on ultrasound curriculum.

Conclusions:

  • Practical, consensus-based learning objectives for second- and third-trimester obstetric sonography have been proposed.
  • A two-center pilot program demonstrated the feasibility and positive impact of the developed curriculum.
  • This initiative addresses a critical gap in medical student training for obstetric ultrasound.
