Basic FATE (Focus Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography)

Table of Contents

FATE is the original focused echo protocol practiced since 1989. FATE is easily and quickly learned and can be applied in all clinical scenarios e.g.: pre-, per-, and postoperative, intensive care medicine, emergencies, resuscitation, ambulances, inflight - no limitations, ect. FATE can be performed even with the patient in the sitting position. FATE also encounters a quick guidance to interpret the echocardiographic findings and to put it into the clinical context.

Two FATE levels exist

• Basic FATE. Based on two-dimensional imaging of the easiest cardiac views including M-mode.

• Advanced FATE. Basic FATE supplied with extended cardiac views and Doppler ultrasound for cardiac output and pressure measurement together with assessment of LV diastolic function.

Objective

Provide the attendees with basic echocardiographic needs for the non-cardiologist in order to guide cardiopulmonary optimization. All theory is based on E-learning and the modules must be completed before the course.

Who can attend?

Physicians from all specialities e.g.: anaesthesiologists, intensivists, emergency physicians, internal medicine physicians, surgeons, general practitioners.
