Hi,
2D echo is a very safe test with almost no complications.
The technician will make him lye on a couch then he would use a probe(having ultrasonic waves) all over his chest wall to make different views of seperate chambers of heart,he would use some jelly in between probe and chest wall.Some times rarely patient can be allergic to jelly(allegra 180 can be taken).
Apart from that there can be many bookish problems but in practical its a 10 minute test with no problem.
Thanks.
