We sought to evaluate whether web-based didactics result in similar knowledge improvement and retention of basic ultrasound principles and the EFAST (Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) compared with the traditional method.\n\nMethods: Physicians from two German emergency departments were randomized into a classroom group with traditional lectures and a web group that watched narrated lectures online. All participants completed a pre- and post-test, and a second post-test eight weeks later. Both groups underwent hands-on training after the first post-test. A control group completed the two initial tests without didactic intervention.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Physicians currently practicing in a German emergency department\n* Age ≥ 18 years\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Inability to participate in all aspects of the study prior to study begin\n* Control group: Subjects who did not complete the pre-test'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01040767', 'briefTitle': 'Comparison of Web- Versus Classroom-based Basic Ultrasound and Extended Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (EFAST) Training in Two European Hospitals', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': "Brigham and Women's Hospital"}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparison of Web- Versus Classroom-based Basic Ultrasound and EFAST Training in Two European Hospitals', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2008-P-002019/1'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Class', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Didactic training in basic ultrasound and the EFAST']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Web', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Didactic training in basic ultrasound and the EFAST']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Control'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Didactic training in basic ultrasound and the EFAST', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Physicians in the classroom group (class) listened to traditional lectures, while the web group (web) watched narrated lectures online.
