SummaryThis study sought to determine whether using the Resuscitation Council UK's iResus Ó application on a smart phone improves the performance of doctors trained in advanced life support in a simulated emergency. Thirty-one doctors (advanced life support-trained within the previous 48 months) were recruited. All received identical training using the smart phone and the iResus application. The participants were randomly assigned to a control group (no smart phone) and a test group (access to iResus on smart phone). Both groups were tested using a validated extended cardiac arrest simulation test (CASTest) scoring system. The primary outcome measure was the overall cardiac arrest simulation test score; these were significantly higher in the smart phone group ( Every year, approximately 30 000 people in the UK have an unexpected cardiac arrest in hospital. Despite significant advances in resuscitation research, survival to hospital discharge following cardiac arrest in adults remains poor [1]. The survival benefit of wellperformed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is well documented. Recent evidence from both resuscitation training and in-hospital cardiac arrest suggests that CPR quality is suboptimal [2,3].Human factors affect the quality of CPR and disparity exists between resuscitation theory and its practical application -even experienced teams often perform sub-optimally in simulated resuscitation scenarios [4]. Possible explanations for this include the high-stress environment resulting in poor leadership behaviour, failure to delegate tasks explicitly, poor recall of knowledge and inevitable skill decay [5][6][7].

“…One randomized 338 and 1 nonrandomized 339 trial (LOE 5) of cognitive aids showed improved recall of factual information important for effective advanced life support. Two LOE 4 surveys 340,341 on the use of checklists in actual resuscitations reported that physicians perceived cognitive aids to be useful.…”

“…Mnemonic devices are examples of a well-established educational model that improves knowledge retention and future clinical use. 17,18 Although mnemonic devices can be structured with either a random or specific order, the use of an instructional order has been shown to have the greatest effect size for clinical procedures. 19 For example, the mnemonic NAVEL (nerve, artery, vein, empty space, and lymphatics) for remembering the order of femoral triangle contents is ordered from lateral to medial, thereby serving as a method to remember both the contents and order of the femoral triangle.…”

A Novel Model for Teaching and Performing Focused Sonographyhysician-performed focused sonography is an emerging field within medicine and has potential for a range of diagnostic and therapeutic indications. 1 In 1999, the American Medical Association approved policy H-230.960, asserting that physician-performed focused sonographic examinations should be performed if within the scope of the physician's specialty. 2 American Medical Association policy H-385.934 later stated that physician-performed focused sonographic examinations are billable procedures in patient care. 3 Although there have been few efforts by medical specialties to formally define the scope of practice for physicians within their field, physician training programs have undertaken substantial efforts to implement ultrasound education programs. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Ultrasound education programs for physicians are currently designed to develop knowledge and skills in specialty-specific applications of focused sonography. Unlike comprehensive sonography, typically performed by either a sonographer or radiologist and assessing multiple clinical questions, focused sonography generally answers a focused clinical question. [4][5][6] Early physician training programs in focused sonography have been tested across the spectrum of medical school, residency, and fellow levels. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] For example, focused transthoracic echocardiography, which seeks to determine the presence of a pericardial effusion and estimate cardiac contractility, was shown to be feasible in a training program for early medical student, resident, fellow, and attending cohorts. [14][15][16] Although the discussion of where focused sonography training is best suited within the physician training paradigm persists, the main issue re- TECHNICAL INNOVATIONThis project was designed to use existing evidence in education and clinical quality improvement to design an educational and clinical model specific for physician-performed focused sonography. The I-AIM model (indication, acquisition, interpretation, and medical decision making) was created to serve as both a mnemonic and checklist. The model follows a stepwise logic for performing focused sonographic examinations and contains detailed subcomponent listings that cover specific areas to improve use and performance. Although validation and reliability studies will be required before implementation, the I-AIM model represents the first effort to standardize and improve clinical and educational focused-sonography.
