AbstractOver the past few decades, point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) has come to play a major role in the practice of emergency medicine. Despite its numerous benefits, there has been a slow uptake of PoCUS use in rural emergency departments. Surveys conducted across Canada and the United States have identified a lack of equipment, training, funding, quality assurance, and an inability to maintain skills as major barriers to PoCUS use. Potential solutions include expanding residency training in ultrasound skills, extending funding for PoCUS training to rural physicians in practice, moving PoCUS training courses to rural sites, and creating telesonography training for rural physicians. With these barriers identified and solutions proposed, corrective measures must be taken so that the benefits of PoCUS are extended to patients in rural Canada where, arguably, it has the greatest potential for benefit when access to advanced imaging is not readily available.

Abstract Introduction There are many patients being referred from A&E to orthopaedic trauma clinics in OUH for suspected ligament or meniscal damage, without convincing evidence of injury. This has led to demand for providing point of care ultrasound and streamlining of the referral process. Method We conducted an audit of all A&E presentations at the OUH receiving a knee XR across 3 months and tracked their investigative and referral progress. Results: Conclusions Only 30% (57/182) patients referred to the Trauma clinic were deemed to have a serious ligament or meniscal injury. It is difficult to assess the extent of knee injury without specialist diagnostic equipment, which includes MRI or point of care ultrasound. This project has resulted in new trial protocols exploring the use of these technologies to improve this pathway.
