Article Synopsis
- - Intraosseous (IO) catheters are used for quick fluid and medication delivery in critically ill patients, but misplacement can lead to serious complications such as limb necrosis.
- - A study compared the effectiveness of traditional methods for confirming IO catheter placement to a new pressure waveform analysis method, which identified misplacements more accurately.
- - Results showed that the new pressure waveform technique had a higher accuracy and reliability in detecting improperly placed IO catheters compared to standard and power Doppler ultrasound methods, potentially enhancing patient safety.
Introduction: Evidence supports an ultrasound-guided approach in patients with difficult vascular access. Prior research on teaching ultrasound-guided intravenous access has included only small groups of first- and second-year medical students.
Methods: We enrolled fourth-year medical students in our teaching module.
Introduction: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable asset in bedside clinical care. Undergraduate medical education is increasingly using POCUS as an adjunct tool for teaching anatomy, pathophysiology, and physical exam in an integrated manner. Many medical schools teach content in an organ systems-based format in the preclerkship years.

The improved camaraderie between members of different specialties may enhance communication and can foster a more supportive and positive work environment. This study was aimed to assess the effect of IDE on the procedural skills of general surgery (GS) and emergency medicine (EM), as well as the perceptions that GS and EM residents have of one another.
