The use of ultrasound examination is a mandatory skill for modern doctor, and every doctor must be able to perform an ultrasound examination of a patient in life-threatening condition. Through this course, students acquire the basics of sonoanatomy and ultrasonography for examining patients according to the FAST-ER protocol (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma/Extended Respiration). This protocol detects the presence of free fluid in 4 spaces - perisplenic, perihepatic, in the space of Douglas and the pericardial space. The extended protocol includes the detection of free intrathoracic fluid, as well as the detection of pneumothorax. By practicing on the models, students will handle different ultrasound probes and learn the main ultrasound characteristics for the detection of free fluid and pneumothorax, which are critical skills in caring for a patient in a life-threatening condition and can be done quickly and directly at the patient's bedside, and based on them, decide on further procedures in patient treatment.
