Clinical Value of 5 Necessary Echocardiographic Views in the Screening of Critical Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

Analyze the necessary echocardiographic views in the screening of critical congenital heart disease(CCHD) and its value of application. We had transcutaneous oxygen saturation screening for 4444 cases among a total of 4510 cases of newborn and had echocardiographic screening for 11 cases who were failed in the transcutaneous oxygen saturation screening. Analyze the different echocardiographic views, especially for the 5 echocardiographic views on parasternal long axis view of left ventricle, parasternal short axis view of aorta, apical four chamber view, apical five chamber view and suprasternal long axis of aortic arch. According to application of echocardiographic screening for 11 cases, there were 6 cases of CCHD and 5 cases of Non-CCHD. The follow-up result shows that the 11 cases were all with correct diagnosis. So we think that the necessary 5 echocardiographic views could be as basis of CCHD diagnosis. The application and use of the 5 necessary echocardiographic views could streamline the process of screening CCHD and make it more efficient. In view of its easy to learn and master, it can be recommended as a method for screening CCHD in primary hospitals in china.
