Echocardiography
摘要
A 55-year-old male patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with a history of shortness of breath for the past 1 day. His pulse rate was 104/min, blood pressure was 80/40 mmHg, and respiratory rate was 32/min. His peripheries were cool. What is the role of a bedside echocardiogram in evaluating this patient’s shock state?
