CRITICAL CARE ECHO ROUNDS: Echo in cardiac arrest
UNLABELLED Management of medical cardiac arrest is challenging. The internationally agreed approach is highly protocolised with therapy and diagnosis occurring in parallel. Early identification of the precipitating cause increases the likelihood of favourable outcome. Echocardiography provides an invaluable diagnostic tool in this context. Acquisition of echo images can be challenging in cardia...
متن کاملCRITICAL CARE ECHO ROUNDS: Haemodynamic instability
UNLABELLED The use of echocardiography, whilst well established in cardiology, is a relatively new concept in critical care medicine. However, in recent years echocardiography's potential as both a diagnostic tool and a form of advanced monitoring in the critically ill patient has been increasingly recognised. In this series of Critical Care Echo Rounds, we explore the role of echocardiography ...
متن کاملCRITICAL CARE ECHO ROUNDS: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
UNLABELLED Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced form of organ support indicated in selected cases of severe cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Echocardiography is an invaluable diagnostic and monitoring tool in all aspects of ECMO support. The unique nature of ECMO, and its distinct effects upon cardio-respiratory physiology, requires the echocardiographer to have a so...
متن کاملEcho Rounds in evolution.
Nikolaos Skubas, MD Since the introduction in the early 1980s, perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has steadily evolved from a highly specialized tool limited to practitioners at tertiary care facilities providing anesthesia for cardiac and major vascular surgery to a nearly universally available tool used routinely by thousands of anesthesiologists and critical care physicians...
متن کاملCardiac tumors: echo assessment
Cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare (0.001-0.03% in most autopsy series). They can be present anywhere within the heart and can be attached to any surface or be embedded in the myocardium or pericardial space. Signs and symptoms are nonspecific and highly variable related to the localization, size and composition of the cardiac mass. Echocardiography, typically performed for another indication,...
