“…The resolution of ultrasonography continues to improve, and its applications in point-of-care evaluations are ever increasing. 13 Previous studies documenting subglottic measurements typically involve the use of an ultrasound technologist or radiologist to perform ultrasonography. 9,10,12,[14][15][16] Surgeons performed all ultrasounds in the study.…”

Objective To compare measurements of the pediatric subglottis obtained by surgeon-performed ultrasound and endoscopy. Study Design Prospective observational comparison-of-methods study. Setting Tertiary care pediatric hospital. Subjects and Methods Thirty-one patients who underwent direct laryngoscopy from May 2017 to July 2018 were recruited. Transcervical ultrasound was used to visualize the vocal folds, subglottis, and cervical trachea. The anterior-posterior (AP) and transverse (TV) diameter of the subglottic space were measured endoscopically and via ultrasound by 2 independent evaluators. Measurements were compared for correlation, bias, and agreement. A clinically acceptable bias for subglottic diameter was assumed to be 0.5 mm or less. Results The median age of enrolled patients was 2.6 years (range, 4 months–13.3 years). Endoscopic subglottic AP and TV measurements ranged from 3.33 mm to 14.81 mm and from 4.44 mm to 11.65 mm, respectively, while ultrasonographic AP and TV measurements ranged from 4.57 mm to 9.85 mm and from 3.77 mm to 8.96 mm. Pearson coefficient showed strong a correlation for both endoscopic and ultrasound AP ( R = 0.8081, P < .0001) and TV ( R = 0.8796, P < .001) measurements of the subglottis. Bland-Altman plots revealed a bias (average discrepancy) for AP measurements of 0.22 mm and 0.11 mm for TV measurements. Conclusion Endoscopic and ultrasonography measurements of the pediatric subglottic airway were strongly correlated. The discrepancy between AP and TV measurements was less than 0.5 mm. Ultrasound of the subglottis may be an alternative to endoscopic assessment of the airway for measurement of the subglottic airway in children in select cases.

“…Due to the fact that ultrasound allows real-time, noninvasive visualization of anatomic structures and their physiological function in vivo, ultrasound has been advocated as an auxiliary educational tool, in particular, for anatomy and physiology teaching ("living anatomy"), as well as for the teaching of physical examinations and basic clinical skills [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. There is already consistent evidence that this type of teaching is also very well accepted, wanted, and enjoyed by students [3,14,22], even if the evidence regarding the effect of US on external outcomes is still limited [14,23,24].…”

Background Despite the increasing role of ultrasound, structured ultrasound teaching is only slowly being integrated into the curricula of medical schools and universities all over Europe. Aim To survey the current situation at European universities regarding the integration of ultrasound in student medical education and to report on models of student ultrasound training from selected European universities. Methods A questionnaire survey focusing on the implementation of curricular ultrasound education was sent out to the 28 presidents of the national ultrasound societies of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB), who were asked to distribute the questionnaires to the medical universities of their countries. Results Overall, 53 questionnaires were returned from 46 universities in 17 European countries. In most of the universities (40/46 universities, 87%), the theoretical background of ultrasound is taught. However, in only a minority of universities is ultrasound integrated in anatomy courses (8/46 universities, 17%) or basic science courses (16/46 universities, 35%). Practical skills in ultrasound are taught in 56% of the universities (26/46 universities) and tested in a practical exam in seven of the responding universities (15%). The number of hours in which ultrasound was taught ranged from one to 58 (mean, seven). The respondents reported that lack of time and limited faculty funding were major hurdles. Conclusion According to our survey, only a minority of European universities has integrated ultrasound into the preclinical curriculum thus far. Future EFSUMB initiatives will continue to promote the introduction of ultrasound as an integrative part of the core curriculum of student medical education, and the preparation of proper teaching material.

“…Longitudinal ultrasound curricula teach foundational science and clinical skills have been developed in several medical schools (Tarique et al, 2018). A wide range of program structures and goals have emerged to effectively integrate ultrasound education into anatomy and other courses (Rowland et al, 2011;Tarique et al, 2018;Royer, 2019). The University of South Carolina implemented a longitudinal curriculum focusing on delivering point-of-care ultrasound (Hoppmann et al, 2011(Hoppmann et al, , 2015.…”

The clinical use of ultrasound has dramatically increased, necessitating early ultrasound education and the development of new tools in ultrasound training and assessment. The goal of this study was to devise a novel low‐resource examination that tested the anatomical knowledge and technical skill of early undergraduate medical students in a gross anatomy course. The team‐based ultrasound objective structured practice examination (OSPE) was created as a method for assessing practical ultrasound competencies, anatomical knowledge, and non‐technical skills such as teamwork and professionalism. The examination utilized a rotation of students through four team roles as they scanned different areas of the body. This station‐based examination required four models and four instructors, and tested ultrasound skills in the heart, abdominal vessels, abdominal organs, and neck regions. A Likert scale survey assessed student attitudes toward the examination. Survey data from participants (n = 46) were examined along with OSPE examination grades (n = 52). Mean and standard deviations were calculated for examination items and survey responses. Student grades were high in both technical (96.5%). and professional (96.5%) competencies with structure identification scoring the lowest (93.8%). There were no statistical differences between performances in each of the body regions being scanned. The survey showed that students deemed the examination to be fair and effective. In addition, students agreed that the examination motivated them to practice ultrasound. The team‐based OSPE was found to be an efficient and student‐favored method for evaluating integrated ultrasound competencies, anatomical knowledge, team‐work, and professional attributes.
