In this video I am going to illustrate the protocol for performing complete and comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography, which meets the current standards of American Society of Echocardiography. I will not be going into a lot of pathological issues here so the protocol presented here is meant as a guideline and does not cover every aspect, such as off axis views. I am also going to talk basic probe position and major structures visible side by side with the protocol steps.
So when you follow the protocol you don't skip anything, you can get additional images according to the pathology found. I personally found that once I could execute the standard protocol flawlessly, I was able to add and refine additional echo scanning skills while deepening my understanding of the purpose of each echo image. So it's immensely useful to learn basic steps of protocol. We will start with parasternal long axis window followed by short axis, apical and in the end subcostal and suprasternal windows.
