This post contains excerpts from the Pediatric Echocardiography lecture from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia‘s Pediatric Cardiology Course (Lectures).
The diagrams and images in the lecture are, I think, helpful to office pediatricians (and FPs, NPs, and PAs) who are learning pediatric point of care ultrasound:
Comprehensive Exam-Important Components: 15
Subcostal/Subxiphoid Imaging: 17
Abdominal Situs-Coronal View: 18
IVC to Right Atrium: 19
Subcostal Frontal Sweep: 20-22
The above subcostal view is not normal- It is Transposition of the Great Vessels
Subcostal Left Anterior Oblique View: 23
Subcostal Sagital: 25-27
Be sure and watch the echo play in slide 26-you will see the sagital sweep replayed.
Subcostal Right Anterior Oblique View: 29
