Learning lung ultrasound at the bedside in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study teaches doctors-in-training how to use ultrasound to examine patients' lungs in the intensive care unit. It tests whether learning from real patient cases helps trainees understand and perform lung ultrasound better than traditional teaching methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a resident doctor (in training) currently working in an ICU
- You specialize in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, or General Practice
- You have completed basic ultrasound training or have some ultrasound knowledge already
- You can attend all teaching sessions and complete written tests and practical exams
- You have not had formal training or certification in lung or critical care ultrasound before
- You are able to stay in the study for the full duration without interruption

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
This trial tests whether an online ultrasound curriculum helps post-graduate doctors learn better. If you are a PGY trainee who completed an emergency medicine ultrasound training program with full records, you may be eligible.
This study uses a special lung ultrasound to look at how well a baby's lungs are working. It is for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need help breathing. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can give doctors useful information.
This trial tests if watching short videos before an emergency ultrasound course helps doctors and medical students learn skills better. You might join if you are a PGY physician or medical student willing to participate.
This trial tests whether seeing real-time lung visuals on a screen can help doctors feel less mental strain and make faster, more accurate diagnoses while using a ventilator. Participating doctors will practice in two realistic simulation sessions about two weeks apart.
This trial tests whether ultrasound scoring methods can better monitor breathing problems in ICU patients. If you have sudden breathing trouble while in the intensive care unit, doctors will use special ultrasound techniques to see how your lungs are working.
