Focused cardiac ultrasound provides information on the individual determinants of circulation and has a significant impact on patient management. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of focused cardiac ultrasound in term parturients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty parturients underwent focused cardiac ultrasound. Parasternal long\u2010axis, parasternal short\u2010axis, 4\u2010chamber and subcostal views were performed in the left\u2010lateral position and the supine position by a novice operator. All images were graded on the following scale: 1 = no image; 2 = poor and insufficient image; 3 = sufficient image quality; 4 = good image quality; 5 = perfect image quality.
