"Echo Check! 🔍 Heart's looking good! 😊 Para sternal short axis view shows NO RWMA

Описание: The Parasternal Short Axis (PSAX) view is achieved by placing the transducer at the left sternal border (3rd/4th intercostal space), rotating 90 degrees clockwise from the long axis, pointing the orientation marker towards the patient's left shoulder, creating a cross-section of the heart. From this position, you can slide the probe up or down to visualize different levels: the Aortic Valve (up), Mitral Valve (mid), and Papillary Muscles (down towards the apex).
Positioning Steps
Start: Begin in the Parasternal Long Axis (PLAX) view.
Locate: Place the probe at the 3rd or 4th intercostal space (ICS) along the left sternal border.
Rotate: Rotate the transducer 90 degrees clockwise (or counter-clockwise depending on starting point/screen setup).
Orient: The orientation marker (notch) should point towards the patient's left shoulder (roughly 1-2 o'clock on the screen).
Adjust: Slide the probe slightly up or down and angle it to get specific views (aortic, mitral, papillary muscle levels).
Key Levels to Visualize
Aortic Valve Level: Angle slightly upward; shows a circular aortic valve and RVOT.
Mitral Valve Level: Probe is nearly perpendicular; shows mitral valve leaflets.
Papillary Muscle Level: Tilt slightly down towards the flank; shows left ventricle walls and papillary muscles.
