Application of Ultrasonography. A healthy adult standardized patient lies supine. An examiner sits at the machine and changes settings only on your request; linear, curvilinear and phased-array probes are available. You hold the probe. Three tasks follow in order, a vascular access image, a nerve block image and a POCUS view, each limited to 2 minutes 30 seconds.10
Treat the model as Mr. Haines, a 62-year-old man, 108 kg, with obstructive sleep apnea, a previous C4–C6 fusion that limits neck extension, and a mouth opening of two fingerbreadths. He is booked for a long prone lumbar fusion. The plan is an arterial line, then an awake flexible-bronchoscopic intubation with airway blocks.
Your task: for each request, choose the probe, position the patient, ask for the settings you need, and narrate the image and your endpoint.
