Abstract

Ultrasonography (US) technology, which is currently used to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of myriad conditions, was introduced into the field of medicine in 1940s. US has been increasingly spreading to nearly all branches of medicine in proportion to the developments in US technology. Therefore, pre-hospital emergency healthcare providers routinely use small size portable devices, even in ambulances, during the transfer of patients from the field to the hospital, which reduces the diagnosis and triage time of the patients and increases the survival rates relatively. However, due to the lack of necessary training activities, proper use of US devices constitutes a professional challenge for pre-hospital emergency healthcare providers. Although there are some in-service training programs targeting the use of US, a more functional and ideal approach should be to integrate both the theoretical and practical knowledge pertaining to US into the educational curricula of the related departments in the universities. A possible program should be mainly pragmatic by focusing on the life-threatening conditions in the pre-hospital area.

Özet

Halen sayısız durumun teşhis ve tedavisini kolaylaştırmak için kullanılan ultrasonografi (US) teknolojisi, 1940’larda tıp alanına girmiştir. US teknolojisindeki gelişmelerle orantılı olarak tıbbın neredeyse tüm branşlarında giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu nedenle, hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmeti sağlayıcıları, hastaların alandan hastaneye nakledilmesi sırasında ambulanslarda bile çoğunlukla küçük boyutlu taşınabilir cihazları rutin olarak kullanmakta, bu da hastaların teşhis ve triyaj süresini azaltıp, hayatta kalma oranlarını nispeten artırmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, gerekli eğitim faaliyetlerinin eksikliğinden dolayı, US cihazlarının uygun şekilde kullanılması, hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmeti sağlayıcıları için profesyonel bir zorluk teşkil etmektedir. US kullanımını hedefleyen bazı hizmet içi eğitim programları olmasına rağmen, daha işlevsel ve ideal bir yaklaşım, US alanında hem teorik hem de pratik bilgilerin üniversitelerdeki ilgili bölümlerin eğitim müfredatlarına entegre edilmesi olmalıdır. Hastane öncesi alandaki yaşamı tehdit eden koşullara odaklanması beklenen bu türde hazırlanacak olası bir program esas olarak pragmatik olmalıdır.
