Functional echo in newborn

Created using ChatSlide

Functional echocardiography is crucial in newborns for assessing physiological conditions like shock and hypoxia. It involves performing core views to evaluate ventricular function and pulmonary pressures, enabling differentiation between cardiac and pulmonary issues. The findings should directly inform treatment decisions, with repeated scans used to monitor changes in physiology. Ultimately, integrating echocardiography with clinical assessment enhances patient care.
