This study explores the effect of a four-hour ultrasound course on physicians' point-of-care ultrasound performance on patients representing acute abdominal surgical conditions.
A randomized controlled trial with physicians was conducted. The intervention group participated in a four-hour abdominal POC US course before performing ultrasound on four patients with different abdominal surgical conditions. The control group did not participate in a course before performing ultrasound on the patients.
