Routine Echocardiogram Protocol With Standard 2D Echo Images and Color Doppler

Visit my website: https://www.discoverecho.com

In this video of an essentially normal echo are the standard views included in a complete 2D echocardiogram. Shown are 2D echo images as well as color Doppler. 2D measurements and spectral Doppler images are not displayed.

If you are just starting out in learning echocardiography, this routine echocardiogram can be useful. Just keep in mind that 2D measurements and spectral Doppler are not shown. I will try to add them soon.

Echocardiography is intended to be a scientific study of the heart and should be performed with as much precision and consistency as possible. The collection of images you obtain should follow an established sequence or protocol. Every echo image should be the best quality possible, and labeled when necessary, so that the anatomy is clearly identifiable.

Generally speaking, the basic views in a routine echocardiogram are:
1. Parasternal Long Axis

2. Parasternal Short Axis

3. Apical 4 Chamber

4. Apical 5 Chamber

5. Apical 2 Chamber

6. Apical 3 Chamber (Apical Long Axis)

7. Subcostal View

8. Suprasternal Notch

For a complete indepth and detailed echocardiography protocol, please look at this protocol provided by IAC.
