Abstract

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use has become ubiquitous in the field of anesthesiology. However, POCUS training curriculum in anesthesiology residencies vary widely. We performed a survey study to better understand the structure of existing POCUS training and identify barriers to instituting a POCUS curriculum for anesthesiology trainees.
