Brief Summary:
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.
