Diagnosis | Associated ultrasound findings |
---|---|
Tension pneumothorax | Abolished lung sliding, no B-lines |
Tamponade | Pericardial effusion with RV and RA diastolic collapse, plethoric IVC, dynamic LV |
Hypovolemia | Hyperdynamic LV, IVC collapse, clear lungs |
Massive pulmonary embolism | Dilated RV, “D-shape left ventricle, paradoxical septal wall movement, plethoric IVC |
Myocardial infarction | Poor LV function associated with B-profile and plethoric IVC if cardiogenic shock |
Toxicological, electrolyte abnormalities, acid–base disorders | Could be associated with depressed cardiac function |
