Imaging

The COVID followup protocol should answer common COVID-19 related clinical questions while minimizing technician time in the patient room.

• Each patient's first study should be complete. This should only be used as a followup.
• Image enhancer should be agitated prior to entering the room. This is to avoid re-entering the room.
• If the patient is on ECMO, the perfusionist MUST BE NOTIFIED before image enhancer is given

1. Parasternal long axis view
2. 4 chamber RV optimized view. This view is extremely important and effort should be made to optimize this view.
   • If this view is not clear, echo contrast should be used.
3. Tricuspid valve color Doppler in 4 chamber view
4. Tricuspid valve continuous wave Doppler
5. 4 chamber standard 2D view
6. 2 chamber standard 2D view
7. 3 chamber standard 2D view
8. Subcostal view for IVC
