AB Echocardiography  is  the  predominant  noninvasive  method  of  assessing  cardiac  structure  and  function.  Although  initially  this  technique  resided  exclusively  in  the  domain  of  the  cardiologist,  more  recently  it  has  been  increasingly  utilized  for  point-of-care  applications  across  different  specialties.1  The  utility  of  point-of-care  echocardiography  has  been  demonstrated  by  neonatologists  in  the  neonatal  intensive  care  unit,2  anesthesiologists  during  the  perioperative  period,3  intensivists  in  the  critical  care  setting,4  and  emergency  medicine  physicians  in  the  emergency  care  setting.5  The  development  of  more  advanced  and  portable  systems  has  facilitated  this  change.  However,  the  widespread  use  of  point-of-care  echocardiography,  especially  for  neonatal  intensive  care,  has  been  hampered  by  the  lack  of  adequately  trained  non-cardiology  specialists  and  access  to  patients.
