简要总结
Ultrasound is a frequently used diagnostic tool in the emergency department and suggested to have a role during resuscitation. The aims of this study were to develop a novel, resuscitative ultrasound-circulation-airway-breathing (US-C-A-B) protocol, to implement a short curriculum and to assess the feasibility.
The US-C-A-B protocol was built in an advanced life support-compliant manner. It involved a 3-part assessment: (1) C: subxiphoid 4-chamber view of the heart; (2) A: tracheal ultrasound; and (3) B: bilateral lung sliding. It could be used for direct confirmation for the C-A-B and searching the possible cause of cardiac arrest.
A half-day curriculum was designed, and comprised of one-hour didactics and 3-hour small-group hand-on training. Assessments were performed, including a written test, the US image acquisition and a satisfaction survey. From August 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016, the multi-center emergency physicians who attended the US-C-A-B curricula were enrolled prospectively.

结局指标
主要结局
The time of the US image acquisition
时间窗: 6 months
The 6-month evaluation was performed in cardiac arrest patients. The ultrasound operation time was from the time to initiate the ultrasound exam to when the sonographers to inteprete the results, using the ultrasound recorder.
次要结局
