Résumé
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum varies among countries. However, the length of training required for physicians is still under debate. We investigated the impact of different training methods: short hands-on courses (STS), long academic training sessions (LTS), or both (mixed training [MTS]), for POCUS daily use and self-reported confidence overall and specific to specific clinical situations. This was a descriptive study conducted over a 3-month period through a Web-based survey designed to assess the influence of different methods of POCUS training among physicians and residents on their daily practice. The survey was sent to 1212 emergency physicians with prior POCUS training; 515 answers (42%) could be analyzed. Participants in the STS group performed POCUS less frequently than physicians in the LTS or MTS group. Daily use in the STS group was 51% versus 82% in the LTS group and 83% in the MTS group (P < 0.01). The overall self-reported confidence in POCUS was lower in the STS group (P < 0.01) in all studied clinical situations. There was no significant difference between LTS and MTS groups (P > 0.05). Method of POCUS training significantly influenced POCUS daily use. Physicians who underwent long training sessions used POCUS more frequently in their routine practice and were significantly more confident in their ability to perform and interpret a POCUS examination.
