“…Venous stasis secondary to venous reflux may cause fluid leakage into the interstitial space with consequent oedema. The use of duplex scanning to evaluate reflux in the deep and superficial veins should be performed with the patient in the upright position, with the leg rotated outward, heel on the ground, and weight on the opposite limb [158,159,[166][167][168][169]. There is presently no clear threshold to identify pathological refluxes.…”

“…The supervising vascular scientist provided real time feedback to each participant. All scans were timed by a facilitator (total transducer-on-skin time) and assessed by the vascular scientist for technical performance using the previously validated Duplex Ultrasound Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills tool (DUOSATS) [11]. An abbreviated version of the DUOSATS assessment tool, with 7 domains scored on a Likert scale, was used because the last four domains focused on stenosis assessment and reporting, which were not relevant to the present study.…”

BackgroundThe primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a training programme to teach a focused bedside ultrasound scan (PAD-scan; Podiatry Ankle Duplex Scan) for the detection of arterial disease in people with diabetes.MethodsFive podiatrists and one diabetologist across two hospitals were enrolled in a structured training programme consisting of a training course (1-day), supervised scanning (5-weeks), independent scanning (3-weeks) and a final evaluation of performance (1-day).Time, technical skills (Duplex Ultrasound Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills tool (DUOSATS); minimum score = 6, maximum score = 26) and accuracy (level of agreement with vascular scientist PAD-scan assessment) were assessed for every supervised scan and again for the final evaluation of performance.ResultsA total of 90 PAD-scans in 65 patients were performed during the supervised phase. Participants demonstrated significant improvements in median time (19 min(IQR 13.9–25.5) vs 9.3 min (IQR 7.3–10.5); p = 0.028) and DUOSATS scores (17.5 (IQR 16.8–21) vs 25 (IQR 24–25.3); p = 0.027). At the final evaluation, participants completed scans in 5.4 min (IQR 5.3–5.9), achieved full DUOSAT scores and perfect agreement with the vascular scientist.ConclusionA structured training programme, integrated into diabetic foot clinics, was effective in teaching the PAD-scanElectronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13047-018-0283-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
