Reason 1.
Vital signs tell you lots about the patientās general health.
The 2 minutes it takes to check someoneās blood pressure may impact directly on your clinical reasoning and subsequent management.

High blood pressure is generally asymptomatic, so you wouldnāt know if the person sitting in front of you might be hypertensive.

Post holiday season, @ICUltrasonica, @wilkinsonjonny & I are back to take you through the most most critical clinical questions on #haemodynamics that ultrasound can answer
Weāre now on to question 3 of FUSIC HD
āIs the aorta abnormal?ā

Aortic dissection is easily missed, carries a high mortality and should be on the differential of any patient with shock, abdo pain or chest pain. Contrary to popular belief the entire aorta can be imaged via transthoracic and abdominal ultrasound. Letās start with some anatomy
Asc aorta:
Visualised from PLAX view with depth ā¬ļø & probe tilted to focus on the root. Tilting superiorly, or moving up a rib space, may help. Examine the AV and look for a dissection flap. Measure the diameter 3-4cm from the AV. The root can also be seen from A5C & A3C views

Weāve seen how to measure VTI and stroke volume with #ultrasound
Our next #FUSIC haemodynamic question brought to you by @icultrasonica, @wilkinsonjonny and I is:
Q2. Does SV respond to fluid, vasopressors or inotropes?

Our next #FUSIC haemodynamic question brought to you by @icultrasonica, @wilkinsonjonny and I is:
Q2. Does SV respond to fluid, vasopressors or inotropes?
#echofirst #POCUS #haemodynamics #foamed
In Q1 we saw how to measure stroke volume (SV). Q2 helps us manage someone with an inappropriately low SV. Pressors, fluids and inotropes are all treatment options. If If used correctly, they will āSV. If not, they wonāt, and they may even be harmful.
Measuring VTI before and after each of these interventions will therefore easily show you if they have worked. But can we predict which one is likely to work before we give drugs or a drop of fluid? 1st, letās go back to some physiology.
What are the key clinical questions about haemodynamics that ultrasound can answer?

Despite shock being such an important diagnosis, intensive care clinicians are rubbish at detecting a low or high cardiac output (CO) clinically.
Sensitivity of detecting cardiac index (CI) < 2 clinically in this study was 0!

From an apical 5- or 3-chamber view we can use PW Doppler to assess the velocity time integral (VTI) in the LVOT to determine blood flow.
Essentially, LVOT VTI is the average distance travelled by ejected blood during one contraction...
It is also known as stroke distance.

Be aware that arterial complications will likely present as PAIN in the early stages.
There may be an exercise induced component.
That may be down to deconditioning or fatigue OR it may be due to underlying pathology.
