Before echocardiography
Patient’s clinical data
Symptoms - Why do we examine?
◼ Chest pain, dyspnea, etc.
Blood pressure Past medical history
◼ HTN, IHD, cardiac surgery, etc.
P/Ex
◼ Cardiac murmur, etc.
EKG ChestPA Previous echocardiographic findings
Before echocardiography
Patient’s privacy
Attendants – Nr. or family(mother, etc.) Appropriate clothing & fitting room Keep the door open Keep the ultrasound gel warm
Patient position
Which prefer???
Echo probe
How to grip your probe?
TERM
Transducer motion
Movement
◼ To a different position on the chest
Tilting or point
◼ Transducer tip with a rocking motion to image different
structures in the same tomographic plane
Angulation
◼ Transducer from side to side to obtain different tomographic
planes somewhat parallel to the original image plane
Rotating
◼ The image plane at a single position to obtain intersecting
tomographic planes
