This is in intended as a pragmatic optional supplementation to current focused echocardiography protocols. We present a donor echocardiography proforma with accompanying educational materials for use in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DOI:<\/strong> 10.1177\/17511437251394267<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libkey.io\/libraries\/1791\/articles\/689349668\/full-text-file\">Link to full-text<\/a> [no password required]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication: Journal article Author(s): Akhtar W; Peck M; *Miller A; Billyard T; Goedvolk C; Ryan M; Soliman Aboumarie H; Gil FR; Berman M; Rubino A Citation: The Journal of the Intensive Care Society. 17511437251394267, 2025 Nov 15.
