Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Point-of care ultrasound (PoCUS) is a new clinical diagnostic paradigm that plays an instrumental role in the ongoing anesthesiologist's evolving role towards a perioperative physician. Currently, there are few approved curricula that incorporate a PoCUS program into anesthesia residency. This article examines relevant PoCUS applications for anesthesiologists, presents an overview of existing international guidelines for education and training, and reflects on the need for specialty-wide standards. We present a possible framework, that could offer a first move towards a structured PoCUS pathway for Belgian anesthesia residents and facilitate its incorporation into national anesthesia practice. |
