NCT ID NCT07594470

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two teaching methods for bedside lung ultrasound in the ICU: case-based learning (CBL) versus traditional lectures. 106 medical residents and students will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better practical skills and clinical reasoning.
