Abstract

Bedside transthoracic echocardiography is a valuable tool for assessing cardiac morphology and function in critically ill patients. It provides real-time information and aids in making prompt clinical decisions. This article aims to explore the role of critical care echocardiography, especially during shock resuscitation, focusing on basic image acquisition and interpretation. The review discusses the evaluation of left ventricular function, right ventricular function, preload responsiveness, the presence of pericardial effusion, and tamponade.
