The State of Point‐of‐Care Teleultrasound Use for Educational Purposes

Abstract: Bedside ultrasound has been shown to change and direct patient management in the emergent setting. Demand, use, and diagnostic potential of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) has continually increased throughout the years. The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic and physical distancing have necessitated further POCUS innovation. With the advent of affordable portable ultrasound devices, teleultrasound teaching has become a more viable method of POCUS education, especially in resource‐limited settings. Here, we provide a s… Show more

“…274 The response of educational institutions to pandemicrelated restrictions in US education has boosted the application of virtual educational formats including real-time supervised practical training. [275][276][277][278] Scientific societies related to LUS have already issued minimum requirements. 279 For education and training purposes, LUS can further be broken down into modalities with basic to advanced level qualification.…”

“…Although prior studies have evaluated the use of tele-POCUS for educational purposes, most training programs have been shorter in duration, involved in-person components, did not provide "oncall" tele-POCUS consultation, and were performed in academic medical environments only. 9,16,17 A key finding from our study was that POCUS skills significantly improved in learners from a mixed local-remote cohort following a 3-week virtual training program, which included both asynchronous and synchronous elements. In addition, remote guidance used during tele-POCUS consultations was shown to enhance the quality of images acquired by nonexpert users in both local and geographically remote locations.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this was the first study to evaluate a longitudinal and fully virtual POCUS training program implemented in a real-world clinical setting. Although prior studies have evaluated the use of tele-POCUS for educational purposes, most training programs have been shorter in duration, involved in-person components, did not provide “on-call” tele-POCUS consultation, and were performed in academic medical environments only 9,16,17 . A key finding from our study was that POCUS skills significantly improved in learners from a mixed local-remote cohort following a 3-week virtual training program, which included both asynchronous and synchronous elements.…”
