Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography (TnECHO) is increasingly used by neonatologists in the intensive care setting to support clinical decisions. The technology may be applied for the evaluation of the neonatal heart, brain, abdomen/pelvis and vascular access. This application focuses on neonatologist-performed TnECHO. The provision of real-time information on cardiovascular performance and systemic perfusion, the non-invasive nature of the technique, rapidity of data acquisition and report generation, and ability to perform longitudinal functional assessments have all contributed to in the increased utilization of TnECHO by neonatologists in the neonatal intensive care (NICU). The purpose of this application is to support neonatologists who are actively involved in a recognized TnECHO training program. This application includes videos of probe position, 2D echo loops, color Doppler loops, and labelling of the various structures. This application is aimed at familiarizing neonatologists with basic echocardiography views and aiding self directed learning, but does not represent complete training. This application has not been designed to teach how to screen, diagnose or evaluate congenital heart disease, although it is recognized that neonatologists must be familiar with normal anatomy and deviations from this. Although structural heart disease should always be considered when performing a TnECHO evaluation, if the former is clinically suspected a paediatric cardiologist should always be involved. Image optimization techniques are not discussed as it is usually machine specific. ## Key features - Probe position videos - 2D echo loops - Color Doppler loops - Anatomical structure labeling - Self-directed learning aid - NICU decision support ## Recent user reviews (10 of 15) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tnecho/id522700359/reviews.md ### 1/5 — This app no longer displays any videos *2025-05-17, version 2.1* No videos can be viewed any more. iPhone 12max with latest IOS. I guess they’ve stopped supporting it. Pity. ### 4/5 — No longer playing video? *2016-03-15* This app was great but now it is no longer showing the videos when you click. I am not sure if it's because it's not comparable with the new iOS... ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2015-03-27, version 2.0* Fantastic. Very Useful.

It is not working on iPhone 6+ for some reason. Can you fix the bug please. Thanks ### 4/5 — Good *2014-01-13* Very basic knowledge but helpful ### 5/5 — D marikar *2013-12-28, version 1.01* great cotside reference! has labelled videos of the views and how to get the views! great! ### 4/5 — Great App *2012-12-10* I found it quite useful ### 1/5 — Great institution horrible app *2012-06-26* Fix the bugs before you list an application ### 5/5 — Great job *2012-06-05, version 1.01* Lots of effort was put into this app. Many thanks to Dr. McNamara and Dr. El-Khuffash, and to Ikaria Canada. ## Frequently asked questions about TnECHO ### What is TnECHO used for? TnECHO is used by neonatologists in intensive care to evaluate the neonatal heart, brain, abdomen, and vascular access, supporting clinical decisions and providing real-time cardiovascular performance information. ### Does TnECHO teach how to diagnose heart conditions? No, TnECHO is designed to familiarize neonatologists with basic echocardiography views and anatomy. It is not intended to teach screening, diagnosis, or evaluation of congenital heart disease, and pediatric cardiologists should be consulted for suspected structural heart issues. ### What kind of content does TnECHO include? The application features videos of probe positions, 2D echo loops, color Doppler loops, and labeling of various anatomical structures relevant to neonatal echocardiography. ### Is TnECHO suitable for complete echocardiography training? TnECHO aids self-directed learning and familiarizes users with basic views but does not represent complete training. Image optimization techniques are also not covered as they are machine-specific. ### What devices does TnECHO support? TnECHO is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. ### How often is TnECHO updated? The application was last updated on June 14, 2015, to version 2.1. It was initially released on May 3, 2012. ### What is the user rating for TnECHO? TnECHO has a user rating of 3.2 stars based on 5 ratings. ### Does TnECHO have ads? No, TnECHO does not contain advertisements. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 2.1 — 2015-06-14 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - Minor bug fixes ### 2.0 — 2015-03-17 New to this version are disease specific modules for two common indications for TnECHO: assessment for a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and assessment of pulmonary hypertension. Techniques for assessing the significance of ductal shunt are illustrated, as are methods of identifying and quantifying the severity of pulmonary hypertension and associated ventricular function. ### 1.01 — 2012-05-15 Small bug fixes. ### 1.0 — 2012-05-03 No release notes. ## Apps similar to TnECHO | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Neonatal Hemodynamics CDSS](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/neonatal-hemodynamics-cdss/id1560267229) | — | Free | Medical | | [PubMed PMC Bookshelf Search](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pubmed-pmc-bookshelf-search/id1523851247) | 4.2 (161) | Free | Medical | | [Paratus Medical](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/paratus-medical/id1667317861) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Medical | | [CardioTrials - Cardiology](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cardiotrials-cardiology/id1238785254) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Medical | | [Firstline - Clinical Decisions](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/firstline-clinical-decisions/id921339941) | 4.9 (641) | Free | Medical | | [Scanbooster Ultrasound Sim](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/scanbooster-ultrasound-sim/id1407339989) | 4.3 (330) | Free | Medical | ## More apps by The Hospital for Sick Children - [myIBD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/myibd/id444728980) - [CALIPER App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/caliper-app/id849920476) - [Pain Squad](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pain-squad/id929781246) - [pedsMRI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pedsmri/id934527233) - [iCanCope With Pain](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/icancope-with-pain/id1345697088) All apps by The Hospital for Sick Children: https://appshunter.io/developer/444728983 ## Related topics [tnecho](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/tnecho) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
