BasicCardiacUltrasoundScans

Learning Goals
1. / Understand and appreciate the needs of an infant during scanning
2. / Understand and appreciate the infection risks of scanning
3. / Understand and appreciate the optimal choice of probes and settings for neonatal scanning
4. / Demonstrate an understanding of the normal anatomical structure of the heart as it relates to the standard echocardiographic windows
5. / Competently perform 2D imaging of the neonatal heart using the parasternal long axis, short axis, high parasternal ductal/arch view, apical and subcostal echocardiographic windows
6. / Use of M mode to measure the LA:Ao ratio and assess left ventricular contractility
7. / Use of pulsed wave Doppler and colour Doppler as to demonstrate normal blood velocities across heart valves and through the outflow tracts.
8. / Understand the common conventions of cardiac scanning and competently
record a series of images to clearly demonstrate normal cardiac anatomy
9. / Competently interpret the heart ultrasound findings in relation to the clinical
Scenario
10. / Need to recognise whenreferral should be mandatory because of an incomplete scan or a possibleanatomical or functional abnormality
