Can remote training teach emergency ultrasound as well as in-person classes?
NCT ID NCT06824675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether teaching emergency medical workers how to use ultrasound through remote, online sessions works as well as traditional in-person training. About 90 paramedics from Austria and Hungary with little ultrasound experience took part. If remote training proves effective, it could help bring high-quality education to rural or underserved areas.
