Pocket Echocardiography System (PES) for Detection of Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) in Neonates
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PES first, then FFES for Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a single-center, feasibility study involving all neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with orders for a cardiac echo evaluation. Parents will be approached and provided a description of the study. No written consent will be requested, but parents have the option of opting out. Each patient will have a 5 minute Pocket echocardiography system scan followed by a full echo performed on a traditional full featured echo system. The objective is to assess if the current Food and Drug administration (FDA) approved Pocket echocardiography system (PES) can detect patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in neonates as comparable to traditional full featured echo systems (FFES) and/or physical exam alone.
