Video recording of ultrasound skills, rated by consultant radiologists.
The video-recordings of the technical performances are merged with the ultrasonography screen-recordings to one anonymized video-clip. These combined video-clips are rated with the OSAUS rating by two raters. The OSAUS scale (Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills) is used for all performance assessments. The raters are consultant radiologists.
Time frame: Ratings are to be completed within three months of performance.
Cost-effectiveness of mobile app guided versus textbook guided training
Time frame: September 2016
Diagnostic accuracy
Participants are given five videocases, to assess for eFAST verifiable pathology.
Time frame: On site via checklist, evaluated on average one day after performance.
