To evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of tele-guided lung ultrasound for specialist paramedic trainees following brief training.
Approach:
Study Design: A mixed-methods interventional study involving nine registered paramedics who completed a 1-hour online module and 3 hours of supervised practical scanning.
Evaluation Method: Participants performed lung ultrasound examinations on healthy volunteers with real-time guidance from expert sonographers, using the 6-point Usage Rating Profile–Intervention Revised (URP-IR) for evaluation.
Key Findings:
