title: A perioperative echocardiographic reporting and recording system.
abstract: Advances in video capture, compression, and streaming technology, coupled with improvements in central processing unit design and the inclusion of a database engine in the Windows operating system, have simplified the task of implementing a digital echocardiographic recording system. I describe an application that uses these technologies and runs on a notebook computer.
