The Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology (SBA) has been promoting continuing education in intraoperative echocardiography in Brazil since 2011, with the implementation of an Intraoperative Echocardiography Course (ETI/SBA). Although echocardiography is a reality of anesthesiology practice in Brazil, we still do not have an established policy on the area of expertise, job training, and recognition by the other societies, such as the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC). The aim of this paper is to contextualize the anesthesiology in the intraoperative echocardiography in Brazil and promote a discussion on the formation of a Task Force along with the SBC to begin drawing up the Brazilian Guidelines on Intraoperative Echocardiography.
The first reports on the involvement of anesthesiology in Brazil with intraoperative echocardiography are from the 80s and 90s. However, this technique implementation in routine practice in the Brazilian anesthesiology occurred in 2011 with the formation of the ETI/SBA Course. Since then, the SBA has been promoting a continuing education of its members and disseminating the ETI/SBA Course throughout Brazil. More than 200 associates have taken this course, and the vast majority works with cardiac surgery.
Intraoperative echocardiography is a reality in the practice of the Brazilian anesthesiology, and the ETI/SBA Course has been promoting its continuing education, however, we still do not have a grounded guideline. As occurred in major worldwide centers, we have to promote a Task Force along with the SBC in order to begin the drawing up of the Brazilian Guidelines on Intraoperative Echocardiography.
自2011年起，巴西麻醉学会（SBA）通过实施术中超声心动图课程（ETI/SBA），一直在巴西推动术中超声心动图方面的继续教育。尽管超声心动图在巴西麻醉学实践中已成为现实，但在专业领域、职业培训以及其他学会（如巴西心脏病学会，SBC）认可方面，我们仍未制定既定政策。本文旨在介绍巴西术中超声心动图领域麻醉学的相关情况，并推动与SBC共同组建一个特别工作组，以开始起草巴西术中超声心动图指南的讨论。
巴西麻醉学领域涉及术中超声心动图的最早报告可追溯到20世纪80年代和90年代。然而，这项技术于2011年随着ETI/SBA课程的设立才在巴西麻醉学的常规实践中得以实施。从那时起，SBA一直在推动其成员的继续教育，并在巴西各地推广ETI/SBA课程。已有200多名会员参加了该课程，绝大多数人从事心脏外科手术相关工作。
术中超声心动图在巴西麻醉学实践中已成为现实，ETI/SBA课程一直在推动其继续教育，然而，我们仍然没有一个有充分依据的指南。正如在全球主要中心所发生的那样，我们必须与SBC共同推动成立一个特别工作组，以便开始起草巴西术中超声心动图指南。
