Efficacy of an online lung ultrasound module on skill acquisition by clinician: a new paradigm.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lung ultrasound (LUS) as an assessment tool has seen significant expansion in adult, paediatric, and neonatal populations due to advancements in point-of-care ultrasound over the past two decades. However, with fewer experts and learning platforms available in low- and middle-income countries and the lack of a standardised supervised training programme, LUS is not currently effectively used to the best of its potential in neonatal units.

Methodology

A cross-sectional survey assessed the efficacy of learning LUS via a mentor-based online teaching module (NEOPOCUS). The questionnaire comprised the clinicians' demographic profile, pre-course skills, and self-assessment of skill acquisition after course completion with ongoing hands-on practice.
