CEVL training to SFU grade pediatric hydronephrosis: a guide for pediatric caregivers.
Traditional resources now used to train healthcare procedures such as SFU grading of pediatric hydronephrosis largely include textbooks, journals, and casual conversations with colleagues. In 2003 the CEVL platform began its development as internet accessed e-learning to promote training for healthcare procedures. Specifically, the platform approaches the promotion of procedure training to grade hydronephrosis by supplementing presentation of static content, such as an ultrasound image, with user interactivity. Herein, we show how we apply this approach to train Grading of SFU pediatric hydronephrosis. CEVL presents samples of SFU grades 0e4 as grayscale images along with interactive colored overlays which denote pyelocalyceal ultrasound anatomy. A self test promotes user confidence in ultrasound grading. Opportunity to upload images for “expert” review is offered.
