FORESIGHT: Whole Body POCUS

Impact Assessment of Perioperative Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training on Anesthesiology Residents

What We Already Know about This Topic

Point-of-care (POC) ultrasound is clinically useful for (1) cardiac, (2) pulmonary, (3) hemodynamic, (4) abdominal, (5) airway, (6) vascular access, and (7) intracranial pressure assessment
This study developed a novel perioperative POC ultrasound curriculum (Focused periOperative Risk Evaluation Sonography Involving Gastroabdominal Hemodynamic and Transthoracic ultrasound) for resident training and assessed the utility of a model/simulation-based education strategy for training anesthesiology residents on this curriculum

What This Article Tells Us That Is New

This study highlights that a novel “whole-body” POC ultrasound examination (Focused periOperative Risk Evaluation Sonography Involving Gastroabdominal Hemodynamic and Transthoracic ultrasound) can be taught to anesthesiology residents using a model/simulation-guided curriculum, and with this appropriate training, one can impact clinical management of patients in the perioperative setting
