Cardiovascular status is a crucial determinant in the pre-operative assessment of patients for surgery as well as for the handling of patients with acute illness. We hypothesized that focus-assessed transthoracic echocardiography (FATE) could be performed with the subject in the semi-recumbent position. The aim was also to test whether the image quality of Vscan is interchangeable with a conventional high-quality portable echocardiography system. Furthermore, we evaluated the time needed to achieve an interpretable four-chamber view and to complete a full FATE examination.
