PORTABLE ULTRASOUND DEVICE USAGE AND LEARNING OUTCOMES AMONG INTERNAL MEDICINE TRAINEES: A PARALLEL-GROUP RANDOMIZED TRIAL
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Little is known about how to effectively train residents with point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) despite increasing usage. This study sought to assess whether handheld ultrasound devices (HUDs), alongside a year-long lecture series, improved trainee image interpretation skills with POCUS. Methods: Internal medicine intern physicians (n=149) at a single academic institution from 2016-18 participated in the […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Despite recommendations for mobility, older inpatients often stay in bed, increasing the risk for functional decline after discharge. Although studies show poor sleep is associated with lowered daytime physical activity in community‐dwelling adults, no study has examined this association in hospitalized adults who suffer acute sleep loss from a variety of disruptions. The aim […]

MIXED METHODS QUALITY ASSURANCE OF POINT-OF-CARE ULTRASOUND TRAINING IN A RURAL DEVELOPING NATION
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Imaging diagnostics such as CT and MRI are practically inaccessible to many of this developing nation’s 42 million citizens. Ultrasound, however, is more readily available but primarily limited to use in obstetrics. With proper training, the diagnostic utility of ultrasonography may be expanded to non-obstetric point-of-care examinations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate […]

POCUS TRAINING FOR HOSPITALISTS: RESULTS FROM A NOVEL TIERED TRAINING PROGRAM
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training for hospitalists is important for direct patient care, supervision of Internal Medicine residents, and collaboration with Emergency Department and ICU providers. Current opportunities for POCUS training employ the I-AIM framework which structures learning objectives around indications, acquisition, image interpretation, and medical decision making. Unfortunately, learning image acquisition remains heavily time […]
