2009 Fluid Resuscitation Ultrasounds 
Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. In fact, bedside ultrasound might even find severe aortic stenosis.

It would be interesting to stratify the doses of vasopressor administration to the few potential adverse events (all of which resolved), or the location of the peripheral line, given the questions raised regarding safety and patency of ultrasound-guided IVs versus non-ultrasound guided-IVs.

Bedside ultrasound shows hypokinesis of the basal portion of the left ventricle with an apparent sigmoid-shaped septum and a dilated inferior vena cava. Ultrasound findings can show bulging of the interventricular septum into the LVOT , which can be interpreted as a sigmoid-shaped septum on bedside evaluation. The oral mucosa is moist.
