The Role of Bedside Functional Echocardiography in the Assessment and Management of Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is an emergency in neonatal intensive care units with high morbidity and mortality. Its timely assessment and management is crucial for intact survival. Over the last couple of decades, there have been significant advances in management and techniques, which have resulted in improved survival. The use of neonatologist-performed echocardiography (NPE) is now increasingly utilized on neonatal intensive care units to understand the pathophysiology of the disease and to direct the treatment to the underlying cause.
