Todd Fraser, MD, speaks with Kay Choong See, MRCP, about the article, “Basic Critical Care Echocardiography by Pulmonary Fellows: Learning Trajectory and Prognostic Impact Using a Minimally Resourced Training Model*,” published in the October 2014 issue of Critical Care Medicine. Dr. See is an Intensive Care Consultant in the Division of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at the National University Hospital in Singapore. Dr. See and coauthors found that basic critical care echocardiography training using minimal resources is feasible, and new trainees can achieve reasonable competency in most basic critical care echocardiography domains after performing about 30 examinations within the first year.
