The use of focused echo at the patient’s bedside allows the physician to quickly assess chamber sizes, global LV and RV function, RV strain, hypovolemia, and fluid responsiveness. In addition, pericardial effusion, signs of tamponade, and significant valvular regurgitation can be identified. POC echo is a valuable tool that allows the treating physician to answer specific clinical questions that can guide the immediate care of patients.
