General approach to learning point-of-care ultrasound

Differences between ultrasound approaches

Traditional ultrasound

-Experts in ultrasound

-Comprehensive exams (A-Z)

-Multiple ultrasound views

-Multiple imaging modes

-Exam time approx. 20-30 mins

-Advanced interpretation

Ex-Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Point-of-care ultrasound

-Traditional/non-traditional users

-Answer single clinical question

-Single ultrasound view

-Single imaging mode

-Exam time approx. 1-2 mins

-Simple interpretation

Ex- abnormal left ventricular function

Learning point-of-care ultrasound

Acquisition

-Understanding which transducer to use and why

This can include basic physics introduction

-Understanding how to acquire an ultrasound view(s)

Some items include:

Probe position

Probe marker/orientation

Patient position

-Which structures should be seen within a view

Learning point-of-care ultrasound

Interpretation

-Normal values for structures

-Basic function

-Artifacts

Examples of point-of-care ultrasound
