Learning Activity Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Acquire all standard TTE views with diagnostic-quality images in at least 90% of supervised scans.
2. Quantify LV and RV size and systolic function using ASE-recommended methods with ≥85% accuracy.
3. Assess valve stenosis and regurgitation severity using 2D and Doppler criteria with ≥85% accuracy on case-based exams.
4. Detect pericardial and pleural effusions and identify tamponade signs in at least 90% of diagnostic cases.
5. Perform a focused emergency echo protocol (FATE/RUSH) within 5 minutes and make the correct triage decision with ≥85% accuracy.
Learning Outcome:
- Demonstrate proficiency in acquiring standard echocardiographic views and optimize image quality for diagnostic interpretation.
- Accurately measure and interpret cardiac chamber dimensions and systolic function using standard echocardiographic parameters in accordance with ASE guidelines.
- Evaluate native valvular heart disease and determine the severity of stenosis and regurgitation through integrated 2D and Doppler echocardiographic assessment.
- Identify pericardial and pleural effusions and recognize echocardiographic signs of cardiac tamponade to support timely clinical decision-making.
- Perform a focused emergency echocardiography examination (FATE/RUSH) and utilize findings to guide rapid patient triage and management in acute care settings.
