Abstract
Neonatal hemodynamics is an evolving field of newborn medicine focused on providing comprehensive physiological-based approaches for the assessment and management of cardio-pulmonary disorders in the critically ill neonate and infant. Training in neonatal hemodynamics requires a structured approach to echocardiography to ensure expertise in assessing cardiovascular function in critically ill neonates. This educational framework outlines a systematic approach to echocardiography laboratory training for Neonatal Hemodynamics trainees with a focus on competency in image acquisition, interpretation, and integration of findings into neonatal physiology. Training emphasizes hands-on learning, direct supervision, and progressive assessments, with primary exposure to critically ill neonates and select cases in older pediatric patients to broaden diagnostic skills. By incorporating a structured echocardiography laboratory rotation and interdisciplinary collaboration, this framework aims to support the development of expertise in neonatal cardiovascular assessment.
