Echocardiography in the neonatal unit: current status and future prospects.
Yogen SinghPublished in: Expert review of medical devices (2024)
Comprehensive guidelines providing the scope of practice, a framework for training, and robust clinical governance process for the neonatologist performed targeted echocardiography have been established. In the last decade, echocardiography has emerged as essential vital bedside diagnostic tool in providing high-quality care to the sick infants in the neonatal units, and it has proved to improve the outcomes in neonates. It is now being considered as a modern hemodynamic monitoring tool. Advances in technology, machine learning, and application of artificial intelligence in applications of echocardiography seem promising adjunct tools for rapid assessment in emergency situations.
