Abstract :

The use of portable ultrasonic echocardiography has become a powerful tool in the trauma, critical care and perioperative setting in the hands of non-cardiologist that can provide non-invasive, real-time information that will transform the practice of medicine in time-critical situations. I will present a case series of application of ultrasonography in acute care medicine with findings that affected perioperative management. This is a presentation from a single institution. A well-designed prospective study is needed to validate our findings and improve patient�s outcome.
