Unique Aspects of Point-of-Care Ultrasound Research
Point-of-care ultrasound research entails examining various factors such as sonographer expertise, patient demographic differences, and different outcome measures like diagnostic accuracy and time to completion. This type of research delves into multiple components specific to ultrasound, requiring analysis at the provider level. Moreover, ultrasound research offers ample opportunities for collaboration across different fields, allowing for the assessment of skills applicability in various settings beyond emergency departments.
Characteristics of Good Ultrasound Research
Good ultrasound research involves conducting high-quality studies within existing constraints, understanding and addressing study limitations early on, and following the F-I-N-E-R criteria for feasibility, interest, novelty, ethics, enrolling capability, and relevance. Emphasizing ethical considerations in patient care and learner education is crucial. Additionally, staying updated on best practices through resources like the Equator Network ensures adherence to study design standards.
Disseminating Ultrasound Research Findings
Disseminating ultrasound research involves selecting appropriate journals based on impact factors and relevance, adhering to author guidelines meticulously, and being prepared for potential multiple submission attempts to find the ideal publishing platform. Recognizing that initial journal submissions may not always succeed and being open to incorporating feedback for continuous improvement are integral parts of the publication process.
We have reviewed a lot of POCUS articles on this podcast, but we don't often talk about the process of performing a research study. On this episode, we bring on world-class POCUS expert and researcher Michael Gottlieb to discuss the ins and outs of performing, publishing, and reviewing ultrasound research studies. This is Part 1 of 2.
