Cardiac POCUS: evaluation of heart function in ECC

Courtesy of: Maxime Cambournac DrMedVet, DipECVECC Vice-Chair of the VECCUS (veterinary emergency and critical care ultrasound) interest group Head of the Emergency and Intensive Care Unit, CHV Fregis, Arcueil, France

Cardiac dysfunction is a common clinical condition in veterinary emergencies and critical care. Unlike complete echocardiography, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an easy question-based, goal-oriented and limited ultrasound examination, targeted to identify dysfunction compatible with physical examination, or to exclude cardiogenic causes, and to prioritize and guide emergency treatment and limit differential diagnosis. This presentation reviews the methodology, clinical indications, and limitations of cardiac POCUS in the context of critically ill small animals.
