Summary

This study looks at two ways to teach medical residents how to use a special ultrasound technique (VExUS) to check for fluid overload in patients with acute heart failure. About 23 residents will be trained either in-person or remotely, and their ultrasound skills will be compared to those of expert doctors. The goal is to see if remote training can be just as effective, which could make it easier for more hospitals to use this technique.
