FTOE accreditation pathway (https://ics.ac.uk/product/ftoe.html (https://ics.ac.uk/product/ftoe.html) (https://ics.ac.uk/product/ftoe.html (https://ics.ac.uk/product/ftoe.html))
- In collaboration between the Intensive Care Society and the Association of Anaesthetists we have developed a Focused transoesophageal echo (fTOE) accreditation for both ICU and anaesthesia. fTOE is valuable when unexplained life-threatening circulatory instability persists despite corrective therapy, and whenever a focused ultrasound scan (FUSIC) is unable or unlikely to answer the clinical question. You can improve your ability to perform focused transoesophageal echo by completing the fTOE accreditation.
