This table presents residents’ responses to questions on the applicability of five indications for FoCUS and their self-reported proficiency in FoCUS. Applicability and proficiency are rated on a 5 point Likert Scale (1, Very Poor; 2, Poor; 3, Fair; 4, Good and 5, Very Good). IVC, inferior vena cava; JVP, jugular venous pulsation; LV, left ventricular; RV, right ventricular. Data are stratified by specialty and presented as frequencies.
