远程医疗被广泛用于医学教育，但很少有研究直接调查远程医疗教学与传统的面对面教学相比。在这里，我们确定远程医疗教学是否是有效的人的教学，为收购的超声技能在创伤护理中的重要性。无超声经验的护士（n = 10）接受研究材料和关于如何定位和成像肝肾空间（Morison囊）的教学课程。一组护士接受面对面教学（面对面组），另一组通过远程医疗（远程医疗组）进行教学。远程医疗允许教员和护士之间进行双向音频和视频通信。教学技术的比较表明，远程医疗教学相当于在人的教学，为收购所需的实践和理论技能，以找到莫里森的邮袋。两组在教学后定位Morison囊所需的平均时间相似。结果表明，远程医疗教学是有效的，因为在人的教学收购床旁超声技能，以确定莫里森的邮袋。这些床旁超声技能的远程教学可能有助于农村医疗中心腹腔内出血的诊断。
Telemedicine is widely used for medical education but few studies directly investigate how telemedicine teaching compares to conventional in-person teaching. Here we determine whether telemedicine teaching is as effective as in-person teaching for the acquisition of an ultrasound skill important in trauma care. Nurses with no prior ultrasound experience (n = 10) received study material and a teaching session on how to locate and image the hepatorenal space (Morison's pouch). One group of nurses was taught in-person (In-person Group) and the other group was taught via telemedicine (Telemedicine Group). Telemedicine allowed two-way audio and visual communication between the instructor and the nurses. A comparison of the teaching techniques showed that telemedicine teaching was equivalent to in-person teaching for the acquisition of practical and theoretical skills required to locate Morison's pouch. The average time required to locate Morison's pouch after teaching was similar between both groups. The results demonstrate that telemedicine teaching is as effective as in-person teaching for the acquisition of bedside ultrasound skills necessary to identify Morison's pouch. Remote teaching of these bedside ultrasound skills may help in the diagnosis of intra-abdominal bleeding in rural healthcare centers.
