European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) · Verified on 2026-10-10 against ESICM's currently linked EDEC Guidelines, filename EDEC_Guidelines_2026_updated_07_07_2026.pdf, whose internal version label remains 03/30/2026. No separate effective date is stated. Clinical scope was corroborated against ESICM's 10–11 October 2026 advanced-course programme and published learning objectives. The handbook references the 2014 advanced critical care echocardiography consensus syllabus, whose full text was inaccessible. The workbook's shortened European Diploma in EchoCardiography label maps to ESICM's European Diploma in Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography; the assigned slug is preserved.
