This module was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2019 to answer the need for training of front-line teams. It provides hands-on training for point-of-care ultrasound skills essential in the triage and monitoring of the coronavirus.
It includes unique clinical cases of patients suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19. Each case shows different ultrasound characteristics typically found in COVID-19 patients such as B-lines, thickening of the pleura, and consolidated lung. The echocardiography cases show clinical cases of COVID-19 patients with cardiac complications. In addition, the module includes relevant didactic material such as basic ultrasound introduction, typical COVID-19 findings, and a disinfection protocol.
