Abstract
The eFAST is an important bedside diagnostic tool for trauma patients. The aim of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of short, practical training in the diagnosis of pneumothorax. Firstly, medical students (n=41) were given a pre-test consisting of photos and videos. After this activity, the students took part in a theoretical-practical class on the use of eFAST. The post-test was carried out immediately after, 30 and 60 days after the training. Descriptively, there was a 38.47% increase in the number of correct answers compared to the pre- and post-tests in the first stage and the average number of correct answers remained high (above 90%) in the following two post-tests (30 and 60 days). It is therefore necessary to invest in time-effective practical training aimed at optimizing learning and improving performance technique and diagnostic accuracy in the context of emergency medicine.
