GHANA: ULTRASOUND SKILLS LAST AFTER BEDSIDE TRAINING

Summary

The study conducted a follow-up assessment 9–11 months after a cardiopulmonary ultrasound (CPUS) training course in an academic tertiary hospital in Ghana. The training occurred over two separate 10-day periods in 2016, and the evaluation included a written test, observed structured clinical examination, in-person interviews, and a written survey.

Results indicated that all 20 participants passed both the written and clinical examinations, with a median follow-up test score of 10 out of 12, demonstrating high retention of knowledge and skills. Physicians reported benefits in narrowing differential diagnoses and initiating critical interventions earlier, identifying the cardiac, abdominal, and inferior vena cava components of the CPUS protocol as most relevant to their everyday practice.

The study suggests positive long-term outcomes and improved patient care resulting from the brief and intensive CPUS training.
