In Too Deep: A Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Escape Room.

ABSTRACT:

Audience

Emergency medicine residents and emergency ultrasound fellows.

Introduction

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an essential emergency medicine skill that requires hands-on practice and an understanding of anatomy in three-dimensional space.1 Experientially, some common POCUS challenges are identifying foreign bodies in soft tissue, recognizing nerves, and identifying lower extremity veins in relation to other anatomic landmarks. But finding novel ways to challenge and engage advanced learners who have mastered basic POCUS content can be difficult, and this was the impetus of the current gamified educational activity.

Educational objectives

By the end of this session, the participant will be able to:Evaluate and identify the nature of metallic foreign bodies
