Learning lung ultrasound in the ICU
This study compares two teaching methods for learning lung ultrasound in the ICU. It may help improve how doctors-in-training learn to use ultrasound at the bedside.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must currently be a resident doctor training in the ICU.
- You should be specializing in internal medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, or general practice.
- You need to have completed basic ultrasound training or have some ultrasound knowledge.
- You must be able to attend the entire teaching and evaluation schedule.
- You cannot have had previous formal lung or critical care ultrasound training.
