Sound travels through objects that block light. Only very recently has technology advanced enough to decipher ultrasound for medical use. Machines have become smaller, cheaper, more versatile and more advanced than ever before. The medical use of ultrasound spreads across many fields so that traditional areas no longer have a monopoly. With this comes the question of training doctors. This has been done by various colleges and societies worldwide. Some have been quicker to act than others. There also needs to be an understanding of when broad experience and advanced technical skills are required or when limited skills will do. In addition, some procedures can be performed more safely with ultrasound where the knowledge of ultrasound is not paramount. This article covers current provision of training in echocardiography and ultrasound in areas relevant to anaesthetists who are working in critical care (including accident and emergency) and complex surgery (mainly cardiac).
声音通过阻挡光线的物体传播。直到最近，技术才发展到足以将超声波用于医学用途。机器变得比以往任何时候都更小、更便宜、更通用、更先进。超声波的医学用途广泛，传统领域不再独占鳌头。随之而来的是培训医生的问题。世界各地的各种学院和协会都在进行这项工作。有些行动得比其他机构更快。还需要了解何时需要广泛的经验和先进的技术技能，何时有限的技能就足够了。此外，在一些程序中，即使对超声波的了解不是至关重要的，使用超声波也可以更安全地进行操作。本文涵盖了与在重症监护（包括急症和急诊）和复杂手术（主要是心脏手术）中工作的麻醉师相关领域的超声心动图和超声培训的现状。
