EUS Research Subcommittee

Lynn Roppolo, MD, FACEP - Co-Chair

Nikolai Schnittke, MD, PhD, FAEMUS - Co-Chair

Mission

To foster relationships among ACEP EUS Section members so that they can network and gather resources, collaborate on projects, and respond to peer-reviewed publications that challenge the scope of EM ultrasound practice, and ensure the research subcommittee respects and includes diverse origins and varied points of opinion.

Standards for Point-of-care Ultrasound Research Reporting (SPUR)

Schnittke N, Russell F, Gottlieb M, et al. Standards for Point-of-care Ultrasound Research Reporting (SPUR): A modified Delphi to develop a framework for reporting point-of-care ultrasound research. Acad Emerg Med. 2025; 32: 916-925. doi:10.1111/acem.70069

Other Ultrasound Research Resources

1. SAEM AEUS Research Resource Page
2. Probing the Literature (PTL) recordings:  A monthly national emergency ultrasound Journal Club with a discussion of two articles, including guest appearances from one of the authors of at least one of the articles, followed by an informal “methods consult” where attendees are encouraged to ask questions and seek advice about their research investigations from an experienced group of ultrasound researchers.

We would love to have more ultrasound community involvement! Nervous about leading a group? Not to worry, the PTL crew has you covered! All small group instructors will be given an article summary with notes on possible discussion topics for your group. Sign up to lead a small group for this session or future sessions.
