Oft geht dieses Herzrasen auch mit Begleiterscheinungen wie Schwindel, Unwohlsein, Engefühl im Brustkorb o.ä. einher.

En nuestros #SabadosdePOCUS tuvimos a @ACRP901 con el tema:

La #VCI se encuentra inmersa en varios protocolos y en las modificaciones de cada uno de estos dependiendo el contexto del paciente (#FOCUS, #RUSH, #EFAST).

Se habían utilizado a la #VCI regularmente para medir el estado de volemia y una posible respuesta (o no) a fluidos.
