Urinary Bladder Test Device to Integrate Basic Ultrasound Training for Nurses

Ultrasound is a useful tool for integrating clinical assessment with a bedside reliable imaging technique, but it requires adequate training. Ultrasonographic training involves examination performed on human models, in which many pathologic findings are not always readily available for the trainee to observe. The possibility of creating test objects that reproduce pathologic images allows the provision of training courses with those elements that are not always available. Our aims were to describe how to create a urinary bladder test object and to test its image quality and usefulness.
