Ultrasound and Other Innovations for Fluid Management in the ICU

Mark Blum et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2017 Dec.

Abstract

Ultrasound is a user-dependent tool that can help guide therapy. The use of ultrasound to guide central line placement decreases complication rates. Cardiac ultrasound can help with the diagnosis of cases of hypotension. Lung and pleura ultrasound is a useful adjunct for diagnosis causes of desaturation. Abdominal ultrasound can help in rapid visitation of fluid and intra-abdominal structures.
