Global consensus defines core curriculum for maternal point-of-care ultrasound training

A Delphi consensus of international experts identified 7 essential domains and 36 topics for a standardized maternal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum, aiming to improve bedside diagnosis of cardiopulmonary and hemorrhagic complications in obstetrics.

• Modified Delphi process with international POCUS experts (number of participants not reported) reached consensus (>70% agreement) on curriculum essentials.
• Final framework covers basic equipment, image optimization, normal/abnormal recognition, hands-on practice, and implementation.
• Limitation: Expert consensus without validation of educational or clinical outcomes; may not reflect evidence-based practice.
