Enhanced FoCUS in Patients With Shortness of Breath

Retrospective observational study performed in a internal medicine ward of a French university hospital. Included patients were hospitalized for acute shortness of breath who have benefited from a eFOCUS which was defined as a focused cardiac Ultrasound with utilization of Doppler measurements. The objectives were the therapeutic and diagnosis changes induced by eFoCUS. The primary endpoint was defined by the pooled introduction or discontinuation of diuretics, antibiotics or anticoagulants associated with eFoCUS results.
