Post Education Survey

Post-Education Skill and Confidence

1. I am confident in my ability to correctly identify the indications for the use of gastric PoCUS.
2. I am confident in my ability to correctly position the patient for optimal scanning during gastric PoCUS.
3. I am confident in proper probe selection and placement for gastric PoCUS.
4. I am confident in my ability to obtain an optimal cross-sectional view of the gastric antrum while identifying key landmarks.
5. I am confident in my ability to differentiate among a grade 0 antrum (“empty stomach”), a grade 1 antrum, and a grade 2 antrum.
6. I am confident in my ability to identify thick fluid or solid material in the gastric antrum.
7. I am confident in my ability to quantify the volume of clear liquid by measuring the antral cross-sectional area (CSA).
8. I am familiar with the gastric ultrasound flowchart.
9. I am confident in my ability to incorporate use of the gastric ultrasound flowchart in making appropriate clinical decisions regarding anesthetic technique, timing, and the need for aspiration precautions.
