ECHO On vs ShockRef

ECHO On is a free medical education resource for learning Transesophageal Echocardiography including a free, enlarging question bank, a Rescue TEE cognitive aid, a Case Log system for submission to the NBE, and a growing perioperative Quick Reference library with offline echo loops that work even in the OR without internet access, and includes pathology examples, techniques, and normal loops of the heart. ECHO On will walk you through an entire standard 28 view exam teaching you the anatomy, function and Doppler interrogations you should perform at each view, and how to interpret them. ECHO On is and will remain free, and the best way you can contribute is to submit boards-style questions or echo stills and echo loops to help grow the QBank, Quick Reference and Pathology libraries. Disclaimer: This app was written to provide an accessible perioperative tool for residents and fellows learning TEE in the cardiac OR and ICU, and for generalist anesthesiologists looking to refresh their knowledge of TEE. It is not meant for patients to self-diagnose. It is not meant to be a definitive reference. Despite my best efforts, there may be errors or inaccuracies in this app, so please do not use it for medical decision making, as doing so may lead you misdiagnose or seriously harm your patient. If you are not a qualified medical doctor, please see a qualified medical doctor before making any medical decisions, including those based on echocardiograms.

ShockRef is a focused educational reference for clinicians and learners managing shock, hemodynamics, vasoactive therapy, and temporary mechanical circulatory support. It integrates bedside physiology, shock phenotyping, resuscitation workflows, monitoring pitfalls, drug references, MCS troubleshooting, source citations, and practical calculators for structured, physiology-based critical care. This app is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, and never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of information provided by this app. About Rishi Kumar, MD, FACC ("RK.MD") I'm an adult cardiothoracic anesthesiologist and cardiovascular ICU intensivist practicing in academic medicine.
