Real-time telementoring in gynecology ultrasound: Impact on patient pathway and postgraduate training.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aims to determine the value of real-time telementoring for transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVUSS) supervision in gynecology, when compared with current practice in an acute gynecology unit in a London teaching hospital.

Material and methods

A prospective cohort study was conducted to compare the timing of ultrasound scans by trainees in current practice (control cohort, n = 100) and compared with a trainee-matched series of cases with telementoring (n = 100). The telementoring cohort used technology (TIMS, Chelmsford MA, USA) to real-time livestream the ultrasound scan to a remote supervisor with an audio connection between the trainee and trainer. Data collected included key scan time points and outcomes. The clinicians completed a questionnaire to eva
