Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

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...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Ultrasonography

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 a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Background:

  • Maternal morbidity is high due to cardiopulmonary complications and hemorrhage.
  • Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) offers rapid bedside diagnostics but lacks standardized maternal training.
  • A consensus-based framework is needed for maternal POCUS curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a consensus-based framework for a maternal POCUS curriculum.
  • To establish standardized training for obstetric learners using POCUS.
  • To improve maternal care through POCUS education.

Main Methods:

  • Modified Delphi process with international POCUS experts.
  • Four iterative, anonymized survey rounds to achieve consensus (>70% agreement).
  • Topics rated as 'essential,' 'important,' or 'not important' for learners.

Main Results:

  • Consensus reached on seven domains and 36 'essential' topics for maternal POCUS curriculum.
  • Domains include equipment, image optimization, normal/abnormal imaging, real-world cases, hands-on practice, and implementation.
  • Study conducted from November 2023 to October 2024.

Conclusions:

  • A consensus-based framework for maternal POCUS training has been established.
  • This framework supports the development of standardized, adaptable POCUS curricula for obstetric learners.
  • Standardized training can enhance POCUS utilization in diverse clinical settings.
