## What is Echo UW?

The Echo app provides step-by-step instructions for performing a normal pediatric echocardiogram and uses video clips, images and illustrations to aid in instruction.  The app is intended to be used by sonographers at all levels of training, pediatric cardiology fellows, as a teaching aid for pediatric cardiologists and by anyone interested in learning how to perform the normal pediatric echo exam.  
 
There are four standard views where images can be obtained: 
 
1.     Subcostal
2.     Parasternal
3.     Apical
4.     Suprasternal
 
The exact images and the order in which the images and views are obtained varies by institution.  Each protocol (subcostal, parasternal, apical or suprasternal) can be followed in order by clicking on the next tab at the bottom of the page or you can click on an individual numbered view within the protocol list to be taken directly to that view.  The name of the view and instructions will pop-up automatically at the bottom of the page.  The instructions and additional notes can also be found in the “NOTE” button at the bottom of the page.

### 5/5 — Cardiologist in training

*2020-08-06, version 1.0*

I take this app and copies of echo views from Park’s Pediatric Cardiology with me to the simulation center when I practice with our echo simulator.  For someone who is just learning where to place the probe and how to interpret images...this app is invaluable!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2020-04-15, version 1.0*

Very educational, well done app. I recommend this to all of my students! Simplifies the protocol and is a great source for anatomical structures when scanning! Dr. Greco and the rest of the Cardiologists, Sonographers and Developers did a wonderful job! Thank you!! 👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — How did I live without this?

*2017-09-29, version 1.0*

It makes my day to day so much easier!
