Is emergency ultrasound taught?

0

Yes. Our residents are individually taught the use of emergency bedside ultrasound during their formal Anesthesia/EMS/Ultrasound rotation supervised by our ultrasound director, Manoj Pariyadath, MD We have two portable ultrasound machines (Sonosite Titans) in the ED. Our residents receive both didactic and clinical training in emergency ultrasound. Our residents are expected to become proficient in the following applications: FAST exam, detection of AAA, basic cardiac echocardiography, detection of IUP (includes endovaginal), and vascular access applications, as well as many of the other expanding applications of emergency ultrasound. Residents may also pursue further advanced ultrasound training during an elective rotation available to them.
