Medical training on video iPods

SonoSite today announced that it will allow clinicians to refresh their training in specific ultrasound-guided procedures and goal-oriented examinations by viewing refresher courses on Apple's video iPod. "The rising cost of healthcare demands that physicians become more efficient, particularly at the point of care. This requires that they retain an extraordinary amount of information," said Daniel D. Price, MD and a staff emergency physician at Highland General Hospital in Oakland, California. "As a result, we see a great need for assistive tools that can fit in a lab coat pocket." Dr. Price and another individual will be presenting results from their study that examined the effectiveness of a brief bedside hand-held audio/video tutorial, used to teach emergency medicine interns and residents to identify the brachial plexus with hand-carried ultrasound for the administration of regional anesthesia in emergency situations.
