A 2D Echo (Two-Dimensional Echocardiogram) is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart, allowing specialists to assess its structure and function.

A 2D Echo is performed to diagnose and monitor heart conditions, evaluate heart function, and detect abnormalities in the heart’s structure.

Individuals experiencing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, or those with a history of heart disease, should consider a 2D Echo.

A 2D Echo uses ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart. A transducer is placed on the chest, emitting sound waves that bounce off the heart structures and create detailed images.

Yes, a 2D Echo is a safe and painless procedure with no known risks or side effects.

Benefits include accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment for ureteral conditions, minimal invasiveness, and quick recovery.

CRRT is a medical therapy used in intensive care units to manage patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe kidney dysfunction. It involves the continuous removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood.

CRRT is used when a patient’s kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to dangerous levels of toxins and fluid overload.

CRRT differs from hemodialysis in that it is slower and performed continuously over 24 hours or longer periods. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, is intermittent and typically lasts for a few hours.

Yes, CRRT can be used cautiously in patients with heart failure to manage fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, with careful monitoring of hemodynamic status.

CRRT provides gentler and more gradual fluid and solute removal, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients who cannot tolerate the rapid changes associated with conventional hemodialysis.
