Education and Training Competences in Thoracic Ultrasound

NCT03728491 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of thoracic ultrasound has expanded widely within the las couple of years, and several studies have proved a high diagnostic accuracy for many of the most common causes of respiratory failure and dyspnoea.

The ultrasound scan is a bed-side, and dynamic examination, which demands sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge and competence by the operator, but so far, no studies have explored the effect of simulation-based training for gaining adequate competence compared to traditional hands-on training on healthy figurants.

The aim of this study is to examine whether TUS training on a simulator is superior to training on healthy figurants. Secondly, to examine whether the choice of hands-on training has an effect on the number of examinations performed by the trainees from baseline to 4 months follow-up.
