Discussion

Pressure for efcient and effective training comes from all sides—learners, educa­tors, patients, hospital administrators, regulatory groups, and others. There is grow­ing evidence that simulation enhances ultrasound education, but incorporating this technology remains a challenge at many levels. Funding for resources can be found through educational grants, from administrators or malpractice insurers interested in risk management solutions, or offset from revenue generated through billing for clinical ultrasound studies performed in the department. In some institutions simu­lation equipment is a shared interdepartmental resource, so costs are spread through multiple departments or built into institutional overhead.
Simulation is scalable in ways traditional hands-on training is not. Simulators can recreate the same clinical scenario for every learner indenitely, allowing for large-scale consistent training. It can demonstrate a high volume of pathology in a short time compared to the unreliable ow of pathology in the clinical environment. Over time, the upfront cost of a high-delity simulator purchase is often less expen­sive than the repeated use of faculty time and hiring models, and either purchasing educational ultrasound machines or taking clinical machines out of service for education.
Thus, simulation can augment ultrasound education for every level of learner, including students, trainees, and faculty. It can provide an ongoing platform for deliberate practice, competency assessment, and remediation. And simulation can play a large role in standardizing assessment metrics which can be validated across specialties or institutions.

Pitfalls

1. Failure to connect micro-tasks back to overall skill
2. Use cases to highlight how to incorporate ultrasound into overall care plan
3. Use each simulator appropriately—some teach proprioception, some image rec-
ognition, etc.

Key Recommendations

1. Use simulation to augment cognitive and skills-based learning, creating a safe
environment for deliberate practice
2. Incorporate task simulators, case-based learning, and self-direction in a multi-
modal educational approach
3. Collaborate with other departments for funding, expert faculty, and administra-
tive support.

Objectives

1. Review machine types in the point-of-care community
2. Review most common probe types in the point-of-care community
3. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of different equipment choices
4. Review currently available features that inuence machine selection
5. Outline costs
In many ways, the development of ultrasound equipment has facilitated the expansion of point-of-care ultrasound (POC US). As machines have become more compact, durable, and less expensive while maintaining high image quality, they have spread to diverse practice environments. In the last decade, POC US has been recognized as the fastest growing sector of the ultrasonography market, and now nearly all major manufacturers have equipment that is targeted to this market [1]. Machines that “handle the rigors of the multi-user, multi-location practice environ­ment” [2] have been driven by user needs with each year bringing new models for consideration.
Purchase of a machine requires thoughtful deliberation, aided by knowledge of machine hardware, intended operator skill set, site infrastructure, IT capabilities, and workow logistics of the clinical practice environment. In emergency care settings where a diverse range of applications are required, considerations related to machine portability, transducers, image quality, adaptability, ease of use, durability,

image archival, interface with quality assurance systems, workow, and connectiv­ity are continuously being addressed with industry [3]. The purpose of this chapter is to review basic considerations regarding machine form factors, probes, and other features that are important for use in the point-of-care setting, as well as provide guidance on the process of selecting, purchasing, and maintaining equipment.

Machine Selection

Point-of-care ultrasound machines are by denition more compact than standard cart-based machines, as they are intended to move (Fig.12.1) to the patient as opposed to remaining in a xed location. Within the eld of point- of- care ultra­sound, machines are manufactured using different form factors. These are typically classied as: “compact cart-based” (Fig. 12.2), “hand-carried” (laptop size) (Fig.12.3), and “pocket-carried” (Fig.12.4); some interchangeability between dif­ferent classications are made possible by accessories or machine modications. For example, several companies offer setups where laptop-sized machines may function as compact cart-based systems by mounting them on attached wheeled carts (Fig.12.5). This gives the option to remove the laptop portion for independent use, transport, and service. In addition, companies are now adding monitor-size machines that can be set on a moveable pole or on a monitor arm (Fig.12.6 Monitor/ arm mounted—S series and TE7).

The type of machine chosen for purchase depends mainly upon the practice envi­ronment of machine use. Wheeled cart-based machines are often the best form fac­tor for emergency department or ICU settings, but would not be suitable for nonhospital eld work. Likewise, smaller tablet and phone-sized machines may not provide features robust enough for certain in-hospital scenarios. Different classi­cations of machines have variations in mobility, durability, ease of use, image qual­ity, access to advanced features, and adaptability to IT infrastructure. Most companies offer a trade-in price for older machines, and recycling machines may offset purchase costs.

Compact Cart-Based Ultrasound Machines

Compact cart-based machines are designed to be wheeled to the patient bedside (Fig.12.2). They are termed “compact” as they are smaller than the nonmobile systems that reside in radiology or cardiology suites. Ideally their widths and depths are minimized, but they often have a large screen (Fig.12.7), space for storage of equipment (Fig.12.8), and more functionality than ultrasound equip­ment with smaller form factors. Based on the additional features and parts required, they are typically more expensive than other point-of-care machines (2017 price range approximately $30,000–$80,000). They consist of central pro­cessing units housed in casing that accommodate multiple transducers (Fig.12.9), internet connectivity transmitter (“wireless dongle” (Fig.12.10)), video output ports (Fig. 12.11), a keyboard (Fig. 12.12), and storage bins. They are often
