Abstract

Abstract : ( Int J Obstet Anes . 2022;49:103233) While focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) is being used more widely in medicine, obstetric anesthesiologists in the authors' department often lacked basic FCU knowledge. The department created an initiative (FCU-op) to train FCU novices in basic knowledge and skills and create interest in FCU. The free in-house course was led by a local expert and included reading materials, an in-person workshop, and a 20-question multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ).
