Summary

This study compares three ways to teach doctors-in-training how to perform eFAST, a quick bedside ultrasound used to check for internal injuries. All participants watch a short instructional video, then perform three exams on a healthy volunteer. Some get no further help, some get real-time audio guidance from a remote expert, and some get guidance through a head-mounted device that lets the expert see what the trainee sees. Blinded experts later rate the quality of the recorded exams. The goal is to see if live remote guidance, especially with a head-mounted device, leads to better and faster exams than video alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Remote guidance via head-mounted device and audio-only tele-mentoring
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could improve how emergency ultrasound skills are taught remotely, potentially increasing access to quality training.
What could go wrong
This is a small simulation study with 75 participants, not real patients. Results may not translate to actual clinical settings or different training contexts.
