This month's session focuses on acquiring TFAST® Echo Views with your patient in a standing position. You'll learn proper probe handling techniques and how to fan along the short-axis (4 o’clock) and long-axis (1 o’clock) lines. Mastering these skills can significantly improve your confidence and accuracy in performing TFAST® Echo assessments.

We’ll also take a closer look at two key measurements:

✔️ The short-axis left atrial to aortic ratio (LA:Ao)—important for evaluating left-sided heart issues.

✔️ The long-axis right ventricular to left ventricular ratio (RV:LV)—useful for identifying right-sided concerns.
