Pulmonary Artery Mean pressure

What about a little bit of theory before beginning simulation? >>>

PRACTICE IN THE SIMULATOR

How to perform this examination

1. Run Echocardiography Online Simulator

1. From the List <<Patients>> Choose Patient 1 (User can Choose other patients as well).
2. From the List <<Positions>> Choose Parasternal Short Ao (Left Parasternal View at the level of Ao valve) or Parasternal Sort PA (Left Parasternal View at the level of Pulmonary Artery) or find the same position with 3D Transducer.
3. Click the button <<PW>> and place Control Volume of Pulse Wave Doppler in RVOT.
4. Click Button <<Calculations>> Click Tab <<PA P>>.
5. In the Tab Tab <<PA P>> click the radio Button <<AT>>
6. Click the button <<Line>> Measure time interval between start point of the RVOT flow and point where flow velocity starts decreasing (AT measurement).
7. Click the button <<Enter>>
