Respiratory Therapist Point of Care Ultrasound Needs Assessment
Introduction
Point of care ultrasound (PoCUS) is a limited ultrasound (US) examination performed and interpreted by the provider at the bedside to help answer a focused clinical question or guide an invasive procedure. PoCUS in not currently included in training for Respiratory Therapists (RT) but has become the standard of care for many respiratory care management strategies such as difficult arterial line placement and the rapid assessment of respiratory failure. As such, hospitals around Ontario are providing RTs with a medical delegation to incorporate PoCUS into their daily practice.
This survey will examine RTs' current knowledge, training and beliefs on PoCUS, and will be used to build a national RT PoCUS curriculum.
