Brief Summary

Emergency ultrasound examinations are increasingly important diagnostic tools in emergency and critical care medicine. This study wants to analyze different types of education for undergraduate students. Any method of medical training will be proved theoretical and in clinical practice.

Conditions

Medical Education in Emergency Ultrasound

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Improvement of the knowledge score with different training in emergency ultrasound

  With different kinds of short trainings in ultrasound, students can quickly and accurately determine the main emergency ultrasound diagnosis (free fluid, pulmonary consolidation, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, left and right ventricular failure, pericardial tamponade). The parameter of knowledge score will be used (ratio of multiple choice exam and practical exam).

Study Arms (3)

Group A

Theoretical training will be scheduled for 2 hours with lectures in basics of emergency ultrasound. After the theoretical education the students will obtain a bedside-teaching on intensive care unit for 4 hours.

Other: Education

Group B

Theoretical training will be scheduled for 3 hours and included lectures in echocardiography, lung ultrasound and abdominal ultrasound. After the theoretical education the students will obtain a bedside-teaching on intensive care unit for 3 hours.

Other: Education

Group C

Theoretical training will be scheduled for 3 hours and included lectures in echocardiography, lung ultrasound and abdominal ultrasound.

Other: Education
