Proposed Levels of competence of echocardiography in ICU. According to the widely accepted concept of levels of competence in echocardiography and ultrasound practice (modified from [21]), a 3 Levels structure is proposed. Note that Emergency Echo just represents an entry level, a first very basic step in Echo competence, and does not equate Level 1. TTE = TransThorachic Echocardiography; TEE = TransEsophageal Echocardiography; ALS = Advanced Life Support; FEEL = Focused Echocardiographic Evaluation in Life support; FATE = Focused Assessment with Transthoracic Echocardiography.
