Foundations of Echocardiography: BSE Level 1 Focused Scan

This video walkthrough of a focused transthoracic scan of a healthy volunteer has been made primarily for the benefit of trainees within our department who are studying towards the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) level 1 accreditation.
Details of the accreditation process can be found here: www.bsecho.org/bse-level-1/
I have tried to follow the structure laid out within the level 1 minimum dataset (which can be accessed here: www.bsecho.org/media/236270/l...) with a few minor alterations which reflect our departmental teaching and practice. Wherever there are differences these are stated explicitly within the video.
We run courses teaching both comprehensive (Level 2) and focused (Level 1) echocardiography, and details of these courses can be found on our twitter feed @EchoFoundations.
Feel free to leave comments below. Thanks for watching.
... and special thanks to Oscar who kindly volunteered.

Beautifully explained and descriptive video

probably the best video for a good and systematic assesment, for a beginnerr (like me). Thank you so much!

Superb.

Thanks for making this video

[@richardfisher9916]

You're welcome. Personally I struggle with dense text, and imaging, especially moving imaging lends itself so much more naturally to being taught with moving pictures rather than stills on a printed page.

Excellent video

very useful, just completing my FUSIC Heart and this is a really clear explanation that will help me day to day in ED and intensive care thank you

[@ankitasingh-pl4nx]

Does BSE does any course ? Or is FUSIC / FAMUS the only one available?

[@richardfisher9916]

@@ankitasingh-pl4nx Hi Ankita, the Foundations of Echocardiography course is specifically designed for people studying Level 1 echo. We had plans to run 7 courses at 6 centres around the UK in 2020, but then COVID forced us to cancel all of our face-to-face courses. I will restart them soon I hope, I think it depends what the next wave of COVID cases looks like in the next few months. I advertise FoE courses on twitter: @EchoFoundations

ありがとう。

[@gangay7612]

Please put the cursor on the structure you are explaining

[@gangay7612]

When you are teaching someone please be clear and slow in your speach. Nobody can make out half the things that you are saying

Hi Ganga, you are absolutely correct that the audio for this video is not great. I bought a new microphone after this and I hope the audio of videos made after this one is much better and easier to undertand. I have recorded another video going through the Level 1 minimum dataset with better audio, which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqe9dZKBdt59ZqM
