Objective:

To evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of tele-guided lung ultrasound for specialist paramedic trainees following brief training.

Approach:

• Study Design: A mixed-methods interventional study involving nine registered paramedics who completed a 1-hour online module and 3 hours of supervised practical scanning.
• Evaluation Method: Participants performed lung ultrasound examinations on healthy volunteers with real-time guidance from expert sonographers, using the 6-point Usage Rating Profile–Intervention Revised (URP-IR) for evaluation.

Key Findings:

• Overalcptbiyd537nfs1m89gqu46Khw0

Interpretation:

Participants identified standardized terminology and stepwise protocols as potential solutions to communication challenges during tele-ultrasound.

Limitations:
