Training Needs Investigation and Curriculum Design for Perioperative Care Ultrasound
Objective To understand the application and training status of perioperative care ultrasound in China,as well as the demand for continuing education.Methods From November 2022 to April 2023,an online questionnaire survey was distributed to doctors and nurses in the department of anesthesiology in secondary or higher-level hospitals across China.A total of 264 responses were selected,including 120 anesthesiologists and 144 anesthesia nurses,the clinical application and training of perioperative care ultrasound in their departments were investigated.The differences in the proficiency and training of point-of-care ultrasound between anesthesiologists and anesthesia nurses were compared,and the training suggestions for perioperative care ultrasound provided by the respondents were collected.Results There were statistically significant differences(P<0.001)between the interviewed anesthesiologists and anesthesia nurses in three aspects:clinical use of ultrasound,familiarity with ultrasound techniques,and familiarity with ultrasound knowledge.A total of 203 respondents(76.9%)indicated that anesthesia nurses rarely or never use point-of-care ultrasound.Furthermore,239 respondents(90.5%)supported the study and implementation of perioperative care ultrasound and provided suggestions for training programs and the minimum number of cases required for learning.Based on the survey results and in conjunction with the Chinese standards for intensive care ultrasound,a framework for the design of continuing medical education curriculum for perioperative care ultrasound was proposed.Conclusion The clinical application rate of perioperative care ultrasound is limited,and the training of anesthesia nurses is insufficient.This situation can be improved by continuing education.
