Utilizing a Butterfly ultrasound machine, a hand held personal ultrasound device, students wil be guided through a FAST (Focused assessment with sonography in trauma) examination and imaging of the carpal tunnel using modules and instructor aid. The FAST (Focused assessment with sonography in trauma) exam images the heart and abdomen for free flowing blood. The carpal tunnel is a region in the wrist that houses the tendons for finger movement. Participants will be assessed on the ability to identify key regions, anatomical landmarks and confidence in utilize the ultrasound machine.
