How to use echocardiography in ICU patients

Two clinical situations Unexplained shock

Unexplained respiratory failure

Respiratory failure

Two differents clinical situations : Respiratory distress with

pulmonary edema : problem is to distinghish hemodynamic pulmonary edema and ARDS or bilateral pneumonia

Severe hypoxemia without pulmonary edema: COPD, PE or intra cardiac or pulmonary shunt
