When treating critically ill patients, shock is frequently identified, yet the underlying etiology is elusive. Recognising and interpreting POCUS findings is crucial for rapid diagnosis and proper treatment of these time-sensitive cases. Join Cameron Baston MD to learn how to use POCUS to differentiate the etiology of shock.
What You'll Learn
- Identify the components of shock with POCUS: cardiac, venous filling, pulmonary, and others.
- Recognise and interpret the pattern of POCUS findings in case study examples to narrow the shock differential.
- Apply the appropriate treatment in clinical shock scenarios.
- Appreciate growing applications and advanced POCUS techniques in shock cases.
