PRACTICE IN THE SIMULATOR
How to perform this examination
-
Choose the patient 18 from the list <<Patient>>
- Choose <<Parasternal Long>> from the List <<Positions>> or find the position with 3D Transducer
- Click the Button <<Calculations>> Click Tab <<Ao st >> Click Radio Button <<D Lvot>> (Calculator AVA by Continuity Equation)
- Click the button <<Line>> and measure Left ventricular outflow tract Diameter.
- Click the button <<Enter>>
- Click the Radio Button <<VTI Lvot>> (Calculator AVA by Continuity Equation)
- Choose <<Apical 5 Chamber>> from the List <<Positions>> or find the position with 3D Transducer.
- Click the button <<PW>> plase the Sample Volume in the Left Ventricular outflow tract and click.
- Click the button <<Curve>> and place the points around spectrogram of the LVOT flow.
- Click the button <<Enter>>
- Click the Radio Button <<VTI Ao>> (Calculator AVA by Continuity Equation)
- Click the button <<CW>> plase the Sample Volume in the Aorta and click.
- Click the button <<Curve>> and place the points around spectrogram of the Ao flow.
- Click the button <<Enter>>
- Click the button << R >> to see the results.To change the patient, click the On/Off Button
