Multiprofessional Critical Care Review: Adult 2024 (MCCRCA24ON)-Adult ICU Quick Reference Guide

Pdf Summary

This document is a quick reference guide for adult critical care ultrasound in the ICU. It provides information on various views and measurements that can be obtained through ultrasound imaging for the evaluation of different cardiac parameters. <br /><br />The guide includes information on the subcostal IVC view, which can be used to assess IVC distensibility and collapsibility. It also mentions the measurement of LV septal thickness and the evaluation of hepatic vein systolic versus diastolic PWD. <br /><br />Other views discussed include the apical 4-chamber view, which provides information on ejection fraction, RVSP, diastolic function, and RWMA. The apical 5-chamber view is used to evaluate LVOT VTI, color flow Doppler, and aortic stenosis. <br /><br />The guide also covers the parasternal long-axis view, parasternal short-axis view, and right ventricle inflow view, which provide information on various parameters such as fractional shortening, pericardial effusion, and evaluation of RWMA. <br /><br />Furthermore, the guide mentions the use of lung ultrasound for the evaluation of pleural effusions, consolidation syndrome, and diaphragmatic excursion. <br /><br />Additionally, the document mentions the Fundamental Critical Care Support courses and provides information on the classification of hemorrhage based on blood loss, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and mental status. <br /><br />Overall, this reference guide provides a concise summary of the key ultrasound views and measurements that can be used in the critical care setting.
