BACKGROUND: Trauma ultrasound workshops have been recommended for

training surgical residents. We assessed the teaching effectiveness of

the workshop, comparing swine and dynamic patient ultrasound models.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: MCQ exams on ultrasound physics and practical

skills tests with and without pericardial or peritoneal fluid using four

swines and eight dynamic patient ultrasound videos were used to compare

pre‑ and postworkshop performance in 18 surgical residents (Group I) and

a matched control group of 18 (Group II). Paired t tests and unpaired t

tests for paired and unpaired data, respectively, were used for analysis

with a P < 0.05 being considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Mean

scores (% correct response) +/‑ SD were as follows (*P < 0.05 vs Group

I). [table: see text] For the swine model, the best scores were with

pericardial fluid (25.0% pre vs 69.4% post in Group I) and the worst

scores were with RUQ fluid (5.6% pre vs 22.2% post in Group I).

Postworkshop dynamic video scores were always higher than the swine model

scores in Group I (100% correct video scores for pericardial fluid).

CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the trauma ultrasound workshop teaching effectiveness. For testing, the swine model (especially RUQ) was more

difficult. In postcourse evaluation, the dynamic human video was

considered more relevant, realistic, and less costly for repeated testing

of the residents.

Non‑ophthalmologists must know how to detect, diagnose, and initially

manage acute eye and ocular adnexal injuries in order to minimize their

morbidity. Such instruction can be provided medical students in part from

dog eyes and lids injured so as to produce models of common forms of

ocular trauma. We describe the generation of such models and the format

of instruction employed at the Uniformed Services University of the

Health Sciences.

Language: English

Abstract: Objectives: Determine if: (1) surgical interns could learn

essential ultrasound principles of the focused assessment for the

sonographic examination of the trauma patient (FAST) during Advanced

Trauma Life Support (ATLS), and (2) swine are adequate models for

learning the FAST. Design: Lecture, videotape, pre/posttests, and

practical examination. Methodology: Day 1: Survey, pretest, lecture, and

videotape. Day 2: Three swine, used in ATLS, had diagnostic peritoneal

lavage catheters reinserted to infuse fluid and produce "positive"

ultrasound examinations. Two fresh swine were "negatives"; however, all

five swine were draped similarly to disguise interventions. Interns were

tested individually by surgeon‑sonographers to determine whether the

ultrasound image was "positive" or "negative." Posttests were completed

while surgeons performed postmortem examinations on two swine.

Statistics: Paired Student's t test and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. Results:

Survey (5 min): 48% had exposure to ultrasound. Relationship of test

scores showed no significant difference (p = 0.46 to 0.91) between

interns with and without ultrasound experience. Tests (30 min): Mean pre‑

and posttests scores = 65.6 and 90.8, respectively (p lt 0.001).

Practical examination (140 min): Mean score = 89.6. Postmortem

examinations: Left hepatic lobe partially obscured the spleen.

Conclusions: (1) Surgical interns can learn essential ultrasound

principles of the FAST during ATLS (2) Swine are feasible models for

learning the FAST.

A simple method for inflicting corneal foreign body injuries on bovine

eyes is described and illustrated. The subsequent use of these eyes for

teaching corneal and rust‑ring removal is demonstrated. This method is

suitable for instruction of large numbers of students and could be included

in an undergraduate curriculum
