Article Abstract
This systematic review examines educational strategies in clinician-performed abdominal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), a critical skill with increasing relevance in medical care. Analyzing 28 studies, we highlight the strategies as well as advantages and disadvantages of various theoretical and practical components, including, for example, e-learning and simulation in training programs. The findings emphasize the necessity of blending various educational methods to enhance effectiveness and adaptability in training environments. Ultimately, robust training frameworks are essential to maximize diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes in abdominal POCUS.

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is characterized by the presence of air within the walls of the small intestine, large intestine, and sometimes the gastric wall. The mechanism and pathogenesis of PI are poorly understood. The discovery of PI can occur in the form of an incidental finding, such as a benign course or a life-threatening condition, such as intestinal ischemia.

Introduction: Aortic dissection is an uncommon diagnosis with a high mortality rate. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can serve as an adjunct to computed tomography angiography (CTA) to diagnose aortic dissection. We aimed to determine the association of the aortic outflow tract (AOFT) diameter on POCUS with Stanford type A and type B dissections, along with determining the time to POCUS and CTA.

Case Summary: An 11-year-old male neutered domestic longhair cat was presented to an emergency referral hospital after sustaining severe injuries isolated to the thorax after a dog attack. Initial stabilisation included oxygen supplementation, intravenous fluid therapy, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), serial blood gas analyses, thoracic and abdominal radiographs, opioid analgesics and broad-spectrum antibiotics. CT revealed multiple internally displaced rib fractures that punctured through the mediastinum and were in intimate proximity to the cranial vena cava and proximal aortic arch.
