General Description:
The course explains how to perform an echocardiography, which is required for the TREOCAPA study.
The ultimate purpose of this course is to ensure the echocardiographies are completed following the exact same method across the 62 investigational sites in order to obtain standardized images for the entire study.
Echocardiographies are an efficient technique to assess the closure of the ductus arteriosus which is the primary endpoint of the TREOCAPA study phase II.
An echocardiography also needs to be performed at Day 7 for infants enrolled in TREOCAPA study phase III.
The course explains what needs to be completed in the eCRF, and how to upload images to the eCRF.
