RESUMEN
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming increasingly popular in the field of anesthesiology and is being incorporated into anesthesia resident education. Ultrasound provides a portable, quick, and inexpensive diagnostic tool to help guide clinicians in their decision making and management of medically complex patients. One important utilization of POCUS is helping to guide management of undifferentiated hypotension. We present a case of a patient who underwent a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure who then suffered from hypotension in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). POCUS was used to help identify the cause of the patient's hypotension and led to the diagnosis of a pericardial effusion.
