A Porcine Training Model for Ultrasound Diagnosis of Pneumothoraces

We believe this porcine model can be used for the training of ultrasound diagnosis of pneumothoraces. Participants who completed two training sessions improved their accuracy from 66% to 100% in the diagnosis of pneumothoraces. Study participants rated the educational experience highly on a post-laboratory questionnaire, and feel they will be more comfortable using it in a real-life situation.
