Event Report:
• The event lasted from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The event breakdown is as follows: • Lecture session • Hands-on see session on the ultrasound machines • Refreshments
Venue:
• KTH Auditorium, new block 5th floor
Total Budget / spending: • Rs. 4950 / Rs. 4150
Attendance report:
• Total No. of Registered participants = 33
• No. of participants attended the session = 27
Learning objectives:
• To get a comprehensive understanding of basic ultrasound functioning to use the interpretation for the diagnosis of some basic pathologies.
Pre workshop evaluation:
• It was not carried out due to time constrained.
Lecture / Presentation: • Lecture was presented by Dr Hina Gul (Chairperson Radiology Department) assisted by Dr Irsa.
Hands on experience / task:
• Hands-on session was carried out by Dr Mehmood Akhtar (Ass. Prof) and Dr Irsa Suhaib (Registrar Radiology Dpt) on test subjects.
Round / visit of a facility:
• The ultrasound facility was present over there at KTH
Post workshop evaluation:
• It was not carried out due to time constrained.
Overall yield from the activity:
• The event proved to be immensely useful for the participating students. Participants gained a deeper understanding of the principles and fundamentals of abdominal ultrasound. The workshop contributed to enhancing participants’ diagnostic capabilities in abdominal ultrasound. Attendees reported an increase in confidence and developing interest in radiology watching the presenters performing and interpreting abdominal ultrasound scans.
Remarks:
• Participants expressed high levels of satisfaction and appreciation for the workshop content and delivery.
• The presenter’s expertise and teaching style were well-received, making complex concepts easily understandable
• The hands-on session was particularly valuable and appreciated by the participants as the main highlight of the session, through the feedback evaluation. Hands-on experience allowed the students to visualize the interior abdominal structures including aorta, splenic artery, portal vein, hepatic veins, kidneys, liver and spleen through the ultrasound and the Doppler scan
. • The participants responded in a positive way and appreciated the exposure to the latest ultrasound machines and special modes like Color Doppler scan
. • 1) The activity could be improved by focusing the teaching on POCUS instead of abdominal ultrasound that will help students of this level more.
2) Ultrasound based procedure training can be more useful e.g. U/S guided CVP and peripheral line, U/S guided Pleural tap/Ascitic tap, U/S guided midline identification of Midline for Spinal tap.
3) Teaching related to EFAST.
4) Extending the session time and divide it in multiple sessions instead of single session.
• Participants asked to arrange this kind of sessions in future as well.
• Many participants asked to arrange the sessions on X-Ray, MRI, BLS First aid, U/S guided CVP, EFAST and CT Scan.
