Abstract:
Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) is essential when approaching hemodynamic instability in neonates. Competency in this field requires standardized training, including robust hands-on experience. Proficiency in understanding the key elements of ultrasound knobology is indispensable for optimal acquisition of imaging. This is a narrative review summarizing the key elements of knobology in TNE. Literature review was mainly done through PubMed. There was no funding allocated for the production of this manuscript. KEY POINTS: · Robust and structured training is essential. · Understanding knobology is required to achieve competency in TNE. · Optimizing knobology is critical for an accurate hemodynamic interpretation report.
