Pediatrics

Video course

by Deane Yim, MBChB FRACP

There are important differences in the way that pediatric echo is performed compared to adult echo. After attending this course, you’ll gain the necessary skills to perform a standard pediatric transthoracic echocardiogram—from patient preparation and probe selection to interpretation of pediatric echo images, and screening for congenital heart disease. Dive into this fascinating course!
