| Abstract |
Bedside transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is useful for rapid assessment and treatment of hemodynamic disturbances. Transthoracic echocardiography is not standard in Canadian anesthesia training even though undifferentiated hemodynamic disturbances are common in the perioperative setting. The objectives of this pilot study were to determine 1) whether it is feasible to implement a focused bedside TTE curriculum within core anesthesiology training, 2) whether changes could be detected and quantified following the program of study, and 3) whether curriculum implementation might lead to a significant increase in anesthesiology residents' TTE knowledge-base. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 October 2012.
All research outputs
#22,759,452
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie
#2,737
of 2,878 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#181,548
of 202,171 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie
#16
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,878 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 202,171 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
