Ultrasound - Cardiac POCUS
Parasternal long axis view
Parasternal short axis (mid-papillary level)
Apical 4 chamber view
Subcostal 4 chamber view
Subcostal IVC long axis
A limited 5 view point of care echocardiogram was performed:
normal LV chamber size with normal global systolic function
normal RV chamber size, normal systolic function, no interventricular septal bowing
no pericardial effusion
Inferior vena cava is mid-sized (~1-1.2cm) with >50% collapse with inspiration
Impression: normal limited study with no evidence of severe left ventricular dysfunction, no evidence of right ventricular strain/pressure overload, no pericardial effusion, right atrial pressure likely normal range
