Progresses of ultrasonography in assessing capacity status of acute severe patients / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Circulatory instability is one of the most common acute emergency conditions,and rapid assessment of capacity status is the key to guide treatment.At present,measuring of central venous pressure (CVP) is a commonly used method,but it is an invasive operation which may bring some recent and long-term complications.Recently,as a noninvasive examination,ultrasound has been widely used in monitoring of hemodynamics,and emergency ultrasound assessment of patient's capacity status and directing fluid therapy has become popular.The application progresses of ultrasonography in assessment of capacity status in acute severe patients were reviewed in this paper.
