Bedside Ultrasound in Resuscitation and the Rapid Ultrasound in Shock Protocol

الملخص EN

Assessment of hemodynamic status in a shock state remains a challenging issue in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care.

As the use of invasive hemodynamic monitoring declines, bedside-focused ultrasound has become a valuable tool in the evaluation and management of patients in shock.

No longer a means to simply evaluate organ anatomy, ultrasound has expanded to become a rapid and noninvasive method for the assessment of patient physiology.

Clinicians caring for critical patients should strongly consider integrating ultrasound into their resuscitation pathways.
