Animal Laboratory Training Improves Lung Ultrasound Proficiency and Speed
Oveland, Nils Petter; Lossius, Hans Morten; Aagaard, Rasmus; Connolly, Jim; Sloth, Erik; Knudsen, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09)Background: Although lung ultrasound (US) is accurate in diagnosing pneumothorax (PTX), the training requirements and methods necessary to perform US examinations must be defined. Objective: Our aim was to test whether ... -
The intrapleural volume threshold for ultrasound detection of pneumothoraces: An experimental study on porcine models
Oveland, Nils Petter; Søreide, Eldar; Lossius, Hans Morten; Johannessen, Frode; Wemmelund, Kristian Borup; Aagaard, Rasmus; Sloth, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-03-01)Background: Small pneumothoraxes (PTXs) may not impart an immediate threat to trauma patients after chest injuries. However, the amount of pleural air may increase and become a concern for patients who require positive ... -
The intrapleural volume threshold for ultrasound detection of pneumothoraxes
Oveland, Nils Petter; Søreide, Eldar; Johannessen, Frode; Wemmelund, Kristian Borup; Aagaard, Rasmus; Lossius, Hans Morten; Sloth, Erik (Conference object, 2013-05-28) -
A Porcine Pneumothorax Model for Teaching Ultrasound Diagnostics
Oveland, Nils Petter; Sloth, Erik; Andersen, Gratien; Lossius, Hans Morten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-05)Objectives: Ultrasound (US) is a sensitive diagnostic tool for detecting pneumothorax (PTX), but methods are needed to optimally teach this technique outside of direct patient care. In training and research settings, porcine ... -
Using Thoracic Ultrasonography to Accurately Assess Pneumothorax Progression During Positive Pressure Ventilation
Oveland, Nils Petter; Lossius, Hans Morten; Wemmelund, Kristian Borup; Stokkeland, Paal Johan; Knudsen, Lars; Sloth, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02)Background: Although thoracic ultrasonography accurately determines the size and extent of occult pneumothoraces (PTXs) in spontaneously breathing patients, there is uncertainty about patients receiving positive pressure ...
