Final-year medical students' perspective: a survey on the use of computed tomography in sepsis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the perspective of final-year medical students on the use of computed tomography (CT) in patients with sepsis.

Methods

A total of 207 questionnaires were distributed to final-year medical students at a large university medical center, and 113 returned questionnaires met the criteria for inclusion in the analysis. Questions referred to sepsis guidelines, CT indications, and the use of contrast agents. Control variables included a level of practical experience as a final-year student (trimester of student's practical year) and previous radiological experience.
