dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: The present study aims to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound simulators in the training of the health staff working in the emergency department of a university hospital on Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST). METHODS: This study was conducted on emergency medicine residents, medical interns and paramedics of the emergency department of Selcuk University Medical Faculty, prospectively. The participants were given theoretical and practical training on FAST using the SonoSim (R) USG simulator. At the end of the training, all participants were requested to perform FAST for the pre-selected scenarios for five patients to find the ideal diagnostic window for each patient and declare the diagnosis. RESULTS: This study included 60 participants, including emergency medicine residents, medical interns and paramedics, each having 20 members. The rate of obtaining the correct image was 99.5%, and the rate of diagnosing correctly was 94% among resident physicians. For interns, these rates were 98.5% and 88%, respectively. For paramedics, the rates were 98% and 81.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: It was observed that the theoretical knowledge level of the trainees did not affect the ability to obtain a correct image in the simulator. However, the skills of the trainees for correctly diagnosing via FAST were directly proportional to their theoretical knowledge levels. Our findings suggest that a short theoretical training followed by a simulator-guided practice would easily provide a sufficiency for FAST for the health workers.en_US
