Brief Summary

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Ultrasound performance

Time Frame: 4 ultrasound cases conducted by the study participants were assessed immediately after the intervention/control circumstances

An Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills (OSAUS) scoring form was used to assess ultrasound performance

Diagnostic accuracy

Time Frame: 4 ultrasound cases conducted by the study participants were assessed immediately after the intervention/control circumstances

The ultrasound diagnoses were evaluated as "correct," "inconclusive," or "false," and the diagnostic accuracy was calculated by sensitivity and specificity

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
