Abstract in brief

This study found that emergency medicine residents using ultrasound can accurately detect abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and measure their size, with high sensitivity and specificity, showing strong correlation with radiology measurements.
Out of 238 ultrasounds performed, 36 were positive for AAA, and the average diameters measured by ultrasound and radiology were very close, with only a small average difference of about 4.4 mm.
The results suggest that with proper training, emergency medicine residents are reliable in diagnosing AAA and assessing its size, which is crucial for emergency decision-making.]
