Abstract

At our institution, implementation of a formal training course in Basic Focus Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography (FATE) was associated with an improvement in anesthesia trainees' ability to obtain transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) images. Total image acquisition scores improved by a median (Q1, Q3) 9.1 (2.9,14.7) percentage points from pre-to post-hands-on FATE course (n=20; p=0.001). Participants who returned for a subsequent assessment 5 months following the course demonstrated a median (Q1, Q3) 18.0 (9.1,22.1) percentage point improvement from their pre-course total image acquisition scores (n=11; p=0.002). This pilot study established the feasibility of our program and results suggest that the basic FATE course can be used to teach trainees TTE quickly, effectively, and with significant retention.

重点评估经胸超声心动图(FATE)培训课程实施后的研究生评价-一项试点研究。

在我院，实施经胸超声心动图(FATE)基础重点评估的正式培训课程与麻醉受训者获得经胸超声心动图(TTE)图像的能力的提高有关。从动手前到动手后的FATE课程，总图像采集分数中位数(Q1, Q3)提高了9.1(2.9,14.7)个百分点(n=20;p = 0.001)。课程后5个月返回进行后续评估的参与者显示，与课程前的总图像采集分数相比，中位数(Q1, Q3)提高了18.0(9.1,22.1)个百分点(n=11;p = 0.002)。该试点研究证实了该项目的可行性，结果表明FATE基础课程可用于快速、有效、保留率高的培训学员TTE。
