Air embolism and thrombus

Over the last 12 years, the Department of Radiology at the University of Florida College of Medicine has conducted a simulation-based evaluation of radiology resident competence in critical care imaging.
350 residents interpreted this case of Air embolism and thrombus as one of 65 cases during an 8-hour simulated on-call shift, with a median score of 2 out of 10 and an overall average score of 4.18 out of 10.
Overall, the average number of points lost out of 10 to observational discipline was 5.66 At the same time, 0.16 points were lost due to interpretive errors on the part of the residents.
We define an effective report to be one which achieves scores between 7 and 10. In terms of letter grades, this would be an A or a B. In this “most missed” case 28% of residents produced effective reports.
We define a report having a critical error to be one with scores between 0 and 2. In terms of letter grades, this would be an F or a D. In this “most missed” case 57% of residents produced reports with critical errors.
