For a while, anaesthesiologists, intensivists and emergency physicians have been shy to use echocardiography, suffering from an inferiority complex. However, echocardiography has become the main tool to assess the heart and haemodynamic physiology in critically ill patients. Critical care echocardiography has spread all over the World with almost all countries developing courses and training programs. Konstantin Yastrebov was one of the first in Australia to understand the importance of this technique for the assessment of patients with shock and respiratory failure. For over two decades he has actively promoted the use of this technique in Australasia, Europe and many other parts of the World from his positions as a Director of Intensive Care Unit in Tasmania, as a Chair of Cri
