Conclusion: The presence of shoulder dislocations can be useful in distinguishing seizures from other causes of syncope. PoCUS is a useful diagnostic tool in the evaluation of both anterior and posterior shoulder dislocations.
The use of 3D printing is effective in producing a low-fidelity, ultrasound-capable model simulating an anterior shoulder dislocation. Future research will determine whether provider confidence will improve after utilizing this model and whether provider interactions with the model increases the frequency of use of intraarticular anesthesia for the management of shoulder dislocations in our department.
