THE DETERMINATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR WALL MOTION ABNORMALITY BY EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENTS USING A BRIEF TRAINING MODULE

Abstract

Introduction: Evaluation of wall motion abnormalities by emergency physicians (EP) is a new subject and has not yet been included in emergency ultrasound guidelines. This study aims to evaluate the contribution of a short training module (STM) to the ability of EPs to recognize wall motion abnormalities. Material and Methods: This prospective experimental study was conducted in the emergency department of a tertiary training and research hospital. EPs who were included in the 1-3-year postgraduate education program were included in the study. For the study, a short video-supported STM containing the thirty-minute wall motion error abnormality was created. A thirty-question test, including normal and wall motion defects, was prepared. The residents were subjected to three tests before the training (pre-test), immediately after the training (post-test), and one month after (final test). ANOVA was used to compare the tests. In post-hoc analyses, the Bonferroni test was used to calculate the statistical significance value (0.05/3=0.016), a value of 0.016 was considered statistically significant. Results: 23 EMRs were included in the study. The residents answered an average of 50±12 of 90 questions correctly in the pre-tests before the training, 70±12 questions in the post-test, and 63±12 questions one month later. The short training model had a statistically significant effect on residents' recognition of wall motion defects (p<0.001). There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores in post-hoc analysis (p<0.001). Conclusion: The short 30-minute training model, which includes all wall motion defects and normal wall motion, was found to be an effective training method for EPs to visually recognize wall motion abnormalities
