Evaluation of different teaching methods for FAST examination: high fidelity simulation versus traditional training
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is used to identify free fluids. It is highly sensitive and specific if performed by experienced physicians. The most complex part of the learning curve is represented by the acquisition of adequate images for diagnostic purposes. Hence it is of primary importance to properly handle the ultrasound probe and to identify its correct position and orientation on patients. High fidelity simulation (HFS) might provide an efficient way of learning by reproducing realistic and rare situations. However, although some ultrasound simulators are commercially available, none is of low cost, suitable for every medical discipline and specifically designed for HFS and made for any mannequin.
