Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study explores the effect of a four-hour ultrasound course on physicians' point-of-care ultrasound performance on patients representing acute abdominal surgical conditions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized controlled trial with physicians was conducted. The intervention group participated in a four-hour abdominal POC US course before performing ultrasound on four patients with different abdominal surgical conditions. The control group did not participate in a course before performing ultrasound on the patients.
