Objective: Successful endotracheal intubation is a key step in advanced airway management. The gold standard confirmation for successful endotracheal intubation is end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO) monitoring, although recent studies suggest that ultrasound can also be used. In this study, we explored the time-sensitive early recognition of successful endotracheal intubation by comparing ultrasound and etCO monitoring.

Advanced Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound: A Systematic Review of Select Cardiac Diseases.

Med Clin North Am

January 2025

Cardiac Anesthesia and Intensive Care, Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Lugano, Switzerland.

Basic cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)/focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) often reveals incidental findings. Consider a patient with dyspnea in whom FoCUS reveals left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, calcified valves, and pericardial effusion but "normal" LV systolic function. Such findings may trigger comprehensive echocardiography.

Objectives: Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is increasingly applied in many specialities, and adequate education and training of physicians is therefore mandatory. This study aimed to assess the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted interactive focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) teaching session on undergraduate medical students' confidence level and knowledge in cardiac ultrasound.

Methods: The AI-assisted interactive FoCUS teaching session was held during the 9th National Undergraduate Cardiovascular Conference in London in March 2023 and all undergraduate medical students were invited to attend, and 79 students enrolled and attended the training.
