Impact of Integrated Cardiopulmonary Ultrasound on Clinical Outcome of Shocked Patients in Intensive Care Unit

Shock is one of the most common conditions in the intensive care unit (ICU) affecting one-third of critically ill patients. It reduces oxygen and nutrition's perfusion to the solid organs and is closely associated with increased mortality. Most literature has described how hemodynamic monitoring could provide an effective way to identify underlying pathophysiological processes and guide appropriate therapy in shock patients.
