Andrej Vitushka Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Nice suggestion! Especially if you have a appropriate ultrasound machine and relevant knowledge to use it by yourself or possibility to invite specialist to do it. Definitely bedside echo must be a standard. Must be, but not now yet universally (unfortunately). So sometimes also clinical criteria help as central cyanosis, refractory arterial hypoxemia and pre/postductal SpO2 difference more than 20%. Also "quite healthy" looking non-edematous lungs together with persisting hypoxemia, low SpO2 (heart defects should be prenatally excluded). But all these are not reliable. So May the Echo be with You! :). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
