Brief Summary

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

In patients who visit an emergency room with ocular symptoms, point-of-care ultrasound can quickly identify several emergency diseases. While training of eye ultrasound skills is useful for emergency physicians, hands-on education is risky in pandemic situation such as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID19). As a solution to this, non-face-to-face education via online has been on the rise. The investigators hypothesized that even an online education is enough to perform basic eye ultrasound by emergency physician.

Detailed Description

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

Since the eye is an superficial organ, it has excellent access to ultrasound. Also, the eye has a liquid-filled structure (vitreous body), it is suitable for obtaining some important findings with bedside ultrasound. In patients who visit an emergency room with ocular symptoms, point-of-care ultrasound can quickly identify several emergency diseases. While training of eye ultrasound skills is useful for emergency physicians, hands-on education is risky in pandemic situation such as COVID19. As a solution to this, non-face-to-face education via online has been on the rise. The investigators hypothesized that even an online education is enough to perform basic eye ultrasound by emergency physician.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

hands-on group

The doctors who participated in the study will be educated ocular ultrasound scanning method by hands-on about 20 minutes, and perform ocular ultrasound scans on two standard patients.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

online group

The doctors who participated in the study will be educated ocular ultrasound scanning method by online lecture about 20 minutes, and perform ocular ultrasound scans on two standard patients.

Group Type OTHER

online group

Intervention Type OTHER

In terms of teaching ultrasound, video lectures will be conducted rather than hands-on, which is the traditional method.
