BACKGROUND: There are over 15 million children who have cardiac anomalies around the world, resulting in a significant morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and treatment can improve the outcomes and lengthen life-expectancy of these patients. The NIH and WHO have promoted guidelines for screening for congenital cardiac anomalies using ultrasound in rural environments.METHODS: Our study took place in Bocas Del Toro, Panama where a mobile clinic was established for community healthcare screening and ultrasonographic evaluation by medical student volunteers and volunteer clinical faculty. This was a non-blinded, investigational study utilizing a convenience sample of pediatric patients presenting for voluntary evaluation. Seven first-year medical students were recruited for the study. These students underwent a training program for advanced cardiac ultrasound instruction, termed "Pediatric Echocardiography Cardiac Screening(PECS)".RESULTS: Ten patients were enrolled in the study. Nine patients had adequate images as defined by the PECS criteria and were all classified as normal cardiac pathology by the medical students, resulting in a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. A single patient was identified by medical students as having a pathologic pulmonic stenosis. This was confirmed as correct by a blinded ultrasonographer.CONCLUSIONS: In this pilot study, the first-year medical students were able to correctly identify pediatric cardiac anatomy and pathology in rural Panama after undergoing a 12-hour ultrasound PECS training session. We believe that with this knowledge, minimally trained practitioners can be used to screen for cardiac anomalies in rural Panama using ultrasound. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Dehydration and its associated symptoms are among the most common chief complaints of children in rural Panama. Previous studies have shown that intravascular volume correlates to the ratio of the diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the aorta (Ao). Our study aims to determine if medical students can detect pediatric dehydration using ultrasound on patients in rural Panama. METHODS: This was a prospective, observational study conducted in the Bocas del Toro region of rural Panama. Children between the ages of 1 to 15 years presenting with diarrhea, vomiting, or parasitic infection were enrolled in the study. Ultrasound measurements of the diameters of the IVC and abdominal aorta were taken to assess for dehydration. RESULTS: A total of 59 patients were enrolled in this study. Twenty-four patients were clinically diagnosed with dehydration and 35 were classified to have normal hydration status. Of the 24 patients with dehydration, half (n=12) of these patients had an IVC/Ao ratio below the American threshold of 0.8. Of the remaining asymptomatic subjects, about half (n=18) of these subjects also had an IVC/Ao ratio below the American threshold of 0.8. CONCLUSION: Our study did not support previous literature showing that the IVC/Ao ratio is lower in children with dehydration. It is possible that the American standard for evaluating clinical dehydration is not compatible with the rural pediatric populations of Panama. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic imaging is an integral aspect of care that is often insufficient, if not altogether absent, in rural and remote regions of low to middle income countries (LMICs) such as Tanzania. The introduction of ultrasound can significantly impact treatment in these countries due to its portability, low cost, safety, and usefulness in various medical assessments. This study reviews the implementation of a four-week ultrasound course administered annually from 2013-2016 in a healthcare professional school in Mwanza, Tanzania by first-year allopathic US medical students.METHODS: Participants (n=582, over 4 years) were recruited from the Tandabui Institute of Health Sciences and Technology to take the ultrasound course. Subjects were predominantly clinical officer students, but other participants included other healthcare professional students, practicing healthcare professionals, and school employees. Data collected includes pre-course examination scores, post-course examination scores, course quiz scores, demographic surveys, and post-course feedback surveys. Data was analyzed using two-tailed t-tests and the single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA).RESULTS: For all participants who completed both the pre- and post-course examinations (n=229, 39.1% of the total recruited), there was a significant mean improvement in their ultrasound knowledge of 42.5%, P<0.01.CONCLUSION: Our data suggests that trained first-year medical students can effectively teach a point of care ultrasound course to healthcare professional students within four weeks in Tanzania. Future investigation into the level of long-term knowledge retention, impact of ultrasound training on knowledge of human anatomy and diagnostic capabilities, and how expansion of an ultrasound curriculum has impacted access to care in rural Tanzania is warranted. 相似文献

Background
As medical schools seek to standardize ultrasound training and incorporate clinical correlations into the basic science years, we proposed that ultrasonography should have a greater role in the anatomy curriculum.Objectives
To describe the introduction of ultrasound into the curriculum of a first-year medical student anatomy course and evaluate the utility of this introduction.Methods
First-year medical students attended two ultrasound lectures and three small-group hands-on sessions that focused on selected aspects of musculoskeletal, thoracic, abdominal, and neck anatomy. Pre and post surveys were administered to assess student perception of their ability to obtain and interpret ultrasound images and the utility of ultrasound in the anatomy course. Understanding of basic ultrasound techniques and imaging was tested in the practical examinations.Results
Of the 269 first-year medical students who completed the course, 144 students completed both surveys entirely, with a response rate of 53%. Students' interest and self-perceived experience, comfort, and confidence in ultrasound skills significantly increased (p < 0.001) as a result of this early introduction to ultrasonography. Objective evidence, provided by practical examination scores on ultrasound images, is consistent with this self-perceived confidence reported by students.Conclusions
Ultrasound can be effectively incorporated into an anatomy course for first-year medical students by utilizing didactics and hands-on exposure. Medical students found the addition of ultrasound training to be valuable, not only in enhancing their understanding of anatomy, but also in increasing their interest and experience in ultrasound imaging. 相似文献5.

ObjectivesHandheld point-of-care abdominal ultrasound (POCUS) may be used by primary care physicians while vaginal ultrasound is limited to use in specialist care. We aimed to compare abdominal handheld ultrasound to vaginal ultrasound in determining first trimester viable intrauterine pregnancy and estimate gestational length.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingGynaecologic outpatient clinic; women referred from GPs during early pregnancy. Handheld ultrasound using VscanExtend® was performed by fourth-year medical students with limited training. Transvaginal ultrasound using high-end devices was performed by ordinary hospital staff.SubjectsWomen in the first trimester of pregnancy referred for termination of pregnancy or with symptoms of early pregnancy complications.Main outcome measuresRate of confirming vital intrauterine pregnancy (visualizing foetal heart beats) and measurement of crown-rump length (CRL) using handheld abdominal versus vaginal ultrasound.ResultsIn all 100 women were included; 86 confirmed as viable intrauterine pregnancies and 14 pathological pregnancies (miscarriages/extrauterine pregnancies). Handheld abdominal ultrasound detected fetal heartbeats in 63/86 (73% sensitivity) of healthy pregnancies and confirmed lack of fetal heartbeats in all pathological pregnancies, total positive predictive value (PPV) 100% and total negative predictive value (NPV) 38%. From gestational week 7, handheld abdominal ultrasound confirmed vitality in 51/54 patients: PPV 100% and NPV 79%. CRL (n = 62) was median 1 mm shorter (95% confidence interval 1–2 mm) measured by handheld abdominal versus vaginal ultrasound.ConclusionHandheld ultrasound has an excellent prediction confirming viable intrauterine pregnancy from gestational week 7. Validation studies are needed to confirm whether the method is suitable in primary care assessing early pregnancy complications.
KEY POINTS
- When early pregnancy vitality needs to be confirmed, women will traditionally be referred to secondary care for transvaginal comprehensive ultrasonography performed with high-end devices by imaging specialists.
- In this study personnel with limited former training (fourth-year medical students) performed transabdominal POCUS using a handheld device, investigating 100 first trimester pregnancies for confirmation of viability.
- Using handheld ultrasound viable pregnancy was confirmed from gestational week 7 with 79% positive and 100% negative predictive value.
- If handheld ultrasound used in primary care confirms vital intrauterine pregnancy, the need for specialist referral could be reduced.

OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound is a versatile diagnostic modality used in a variety of medical fields. Wayne State University School of Medicine (WSUSOM) is one of the first medical schools in the United States to integrate an ultrasound curriculum through both basic science courses and clinical clerkships. METHODS: In 2006, 25 portable ultrasound units were donated to WSUSOM. First-year medical students were provided an ultrasound curriculum consisting of 6 organ-system sessions that addressed the basics of ultrasound techniques, anatomy, and procedural skills. After the last session, students were administered 2 anonymous and voluntary evaluations. The first assessed their overall experience with the ultrasound curriculum, and the second assessed their technical skills in applying ultrasound techniques. RESULTS: Eighty-three percent of students agreed or strongly agreed that their experience with ultrasound education was positive. On the summative evaluation, nearly 91% of students agreed or strongly agreed that they would benefit from continued ultrasound education throughout their 4 years of medical school. Student performance on the technical assessment was also very positive, with mean class performance of 87%. CONCLUSIONS: As residency programs adopt ultrasound training, medical school faculty should consider incorporating ultrasound education into their curriculum. Portable ultrasound has the potential to be used in many different settings, including rural practice sites and sporting events. The WSUSOM committee's pilot ultrasound curriculum will continue to use student feedback to enhance the ultrasound experience, helping students prepare for challenges that they will face in the future. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Emergency physicians frequently encounter patients with acute small bowel obstructions (SBO). Although computed tomography (CT) imaging is the current gold standard in the assessment of patients with suspected SBO in the emergency department, a few studies have examined the use of ultrasound as an alternative imaging technique.METHODS: We evaluated the accuracy of ultrasound performed in the ED by a variety of providers (physicians with various levels of training, physician assistants) compared to CT imaging in 47 patients with suspected SBOs.RESULTS: Our data demonstrated a sensitivity of 93.8% and a specificity of 93.3% when compared to abdominal CT, and a sensitivity of 94.3% and specificity of 95.2% using a composite endpoint of abdominal CT and discharge diagnosis.CONCLUSION: Ultrasound can play an important role in the identification of small bowel obstructions in ED patients. 相似文献

The Ultrasound Challenge was developed at The Ohio State University College of Medicine to introduce focused ultrasound to medical students. The goal was to develop experience in ultrasound through practice and competition. Initially this competition was held between Ohio State University College of Medicine students from years 1 through 4. The Ultrasound Challenge 2.0 was held in 2013. The event expanded on the previous structure by including students from the Wayne State University College of Medicine. The goal of this article is to describe our experiences with expansion of our interinstitutional ultrasound event. The challenge consisted of 6 stations: focused assessment with sonography for trauma, aortic ultrasound, cardiac ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound, musculoskeletal ultrasound, and vascular access. The participants were given a handbook outlining the expectations for each station ahead of time. Vascular access was graded in real time using the Brightness Mode Quality Ultrasound Imaging Examination Technique (B‐QUIET) method. The remainder were timed, saved, and graded after the event by 3 independent faculty members using the B‐QUIET method. The highest score with the fastest time was the winner. The Ultrasound Challenge 2.0 included 40 participants: 31 from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and 9 from the Wayne State University College of Medicine. The makeup of the winners in all categories consisted of 1 first‐year medical student, 7 second‐year medical students, 3 third‐year medical students, and 10 fourth‐year medical students. The Ultrasound Challenge 2.0 was a success for those who participated. It provided the first known interinstitutional medical student ultrasound competition. Students from both institutions were able to practice their image acquisition skills, demonstrate abilities in a competitive environment, and develop collegiality and teamwork. 相似文献
