Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

335
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

4.8K
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...

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

134
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Point-of-Care Ultrasound
  • Global Health

Background:

  • The Clinical Ultrasound Course, previously in-person, transitioned to a virtual format in 2021 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
  • The course trained African peacekeepers in essential skills like the Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) exam and vascular access.
  • The program is funded by the U.S. Department of State to support peacekeepers serving with the United Nations and African Union.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a virtually delivered Clinical Ultrasound Course.
  • To evaluate participant comfort and understanding of ultrasound mechanics and the FAST exam after virtual training.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-six participants completed pre- and post-course surveys using a visual analog scale.
  • Training included pre-recorded lectures and hands-on virtual ultrasound instruction.
  • Surveys measured participant comfort with ultrasound mechanics and the FAST exam.

Main Results:

  • All participants demonstrated improved understanding of the FAST exam's indications and limitations.
  • Participants reported increased confidence in using ultrasound in clinical practice post-training.
  • Ghanaian and Senegalese participants showed greater improvement compared to Rwandan participants, who had prior ultrasound exposure.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual delivery of the Clinical Ultrasound Course was successful in enhancing participants' skills and confidence.
  • The study indicates that virtual ultrasound education is a viable and effective method for international training programs.
  • The findings support the continued use of virtual platforms for global health education initiatives.
