Tricuspid Regurgitant Jet Velocity Point-of-Care Ultrasound Curriculum Development and Validation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) recommends that Emergency Medicine physicians with advanced training can evaluate right ventricular (RV) pressures via point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) by measuring a tricuspid regurgitant jet (TRJ). We were unable to find a published curriculum to deliver education for this at any skill level.
