A 12-hr training program blending didactics, interactive clinical cases, and tutored hands-on sessions dedicated to noncardiologist residents without experience in ultrasound appears well suited for reaching competence in basic critical care echocardiography.
In this study, HCU had a lower diagnostic accuracy compared with conventional TTE, despite its spectral Doppler capability. Further studies are needed to validate these evolving diagnostic tools in critical care settings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
