Course outline

FEEL-UK is a one day course designed to teach focused transthoracic TTE which can be performed in an ALS compliant manner during resuscitation. The course is structured to provide a mix of lectures, practical skills training, and resuscitation training. The practical sessions are divided into 10 hands on training (HOT) stations each and all students rotate through all stations.

Course objectives

• To achieve 4 standard TTE views
• Perform focused echocardiography in an ALS compliant manner
• Image interpretation: diagnosis of potentially treatable causes of cardiac arrest/circulatory collapse
• Communicate findings to the resuscitation team
• Understand the pitfalls and limitations of focused echocardiography
• Understand the requirements & mechanisms for ongoing training and certification in peri-resuscitation echocardiography

Who should attend?

FEEL-UK training and/or certification is suitable for all those involved in resuscitation or the care of acutely/
critically ill patients, from junior doctors to consultants.

Certification

FEEL-UK certification requires completion of the following 3 aspects:

1. Pre course study modules
2. Attendance at a registered one day course
3. On-going practice under the guidance of a local mentor and completion of a post course logbook consisting of at least 50 focused scans either during resuscitation or on level 3/critically ill patients. As long as you can demonstrate that you are scanning regularly (ie at least 25 scans/year), FEEL certification does not need to be repeated
