Responses from 95 hospitals across all 4 UK nations showed each ICU had median 4 (IQR 2, 6) personal with 3 (IQR 2, 5) consultants and 1 (IQR 0, 2) registrar trained in focused echocardiography. A comprehensive echocardiogram can be acquired in 48% (n = 46) of hospitals within 6 h during regular working hours. This percentage drops to 11% (n = 10) outside of regular working hours, with 53% (n = 50) indicating this would require more than 24 h. In the case of focused echocardiogram acquisition, 60% (n = 57) of hospitals can obtain it within 6 h during normal working hours. This figure decreases to 20% (n = 19) outside of regular working hours, with 32% (n = 30) indicating that this would require more than 24 h to obtain. Overall, 98% of responding units (n = 93) have point-of-care ultrasound machines (median 2 (IQR 2, 3) machines per ICU) all equipped with echocardiographic capabilities. However, only 52% (n = 49) of respondents indicated have the ability for remote viewing of echocardiogram images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Altmetrics:<\/strong>\n<div class=\"altmetric-embed\" data-badge-details=\"right\" data-badge-type=\"medium-donut\" data-pmid=\"39524071\" data-hide-no-mentions=\"true\"><\/div>\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication:Journal article Author(s):Akhtar W.; Marshal L.; Buglass H.; Billyard T.; Goedvolk C.; Mildner R.; Conway H.; Soliman Aboumarie H.; *Miller A.; Peck M.; Rubino A.
