Following Our FASTVetTM Original Clockface Technique for TFAST® Fundamental Echocardiography - Short axis views “Mushroom View” to “Mercedes Benz View”
 
The answers:
 
Meet Cristina.  She has been helping hold dogs the last few years at our hands on Global FAST® Ultrasound Courses.  At our most recent course, after the attendees were done scanning, Cristina was able to perform the 4 o’clock Short axis views from the “Mushroom View” to “Mercedes Benz View.” These views are important to assess for Volume and Contractility and Left Atrial Size.  This is her first time handling the probe!  She nails it!
 
These are teaching techniques that we developed at FASTVetTM that make teaching echocardiography much easier!  We pioneered using the Clockface Technique in Standing Position and we do not reverse the Screen Orientation as cardiologists do so it makes orientation easier to understand.  This is a much easier method to learn fundamental echocardiography and better serve your patients!  For more information, visit FASTVet.com!

What if point-of-care ultrasound could give you a more complete picture of your patient’s health without leaving their side? 🔍🐾

Our Global FAST® ultrasound method combines AFAST®, TFAST®, and Vet BLUE® into one systematic examination. This provides a rapid, standardized assessment of the abdomen, chest, heart, and lungs.

🫀Go beyond the physical exam by identifying internal abnormalities that may not yet be clinically apparent.

🔎 Gain broader clinical insight by combining multiple POCUS views rather than relying on a single component.

📋 Follow a consistent scanning protocol designed to help reduce the risk of overlooking important findings.

Global FAST® POCUS is more than an ultrasound exam—it’s an extension of the physical exam that can help you assess patients more completely and make more informed clinical decisions.
