ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of bedside echocardiography in full term infants in NICU.Methods The bedside echocardiography was performed for 313 full term infants,and then they were ana-lyzed.Results The main clinical characteristics of totally 313 cases of neonates were tachypnea,heart murmur and cyanosis.Patent foramen ovale and patent ductus arteriosus were common in the no cyanotic blood shunt,no cyanotic congenital heart disease(CHD)was mainly made of atrial septum defect(31 cases),followed by ventricular septal defect (20 cases).Cyanotic CHD was made of pulmonary atresia(6 cases),complete transposition of great artery (5 cases),tetralogy of fallot(5 cases),total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage(5 cases).Tricuspid regurgitation was common in abnormal blood flow,moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension was common for full term infants. Conclusion There were many abnormal echocardiography examination results,and atypical noise was common in neonatal CHD,routine examination of bedside echocardiography for full term infants in NICU was important for early detection of CHD and may help treatment timely to improve the prognosis.
