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.

Diagnosis can be confirmed with ultrasound (for deep vein thrombosis) or CT angiography (CTA) chest (for pulmonary embolism) and patients treated with anticoagulants. This may also predispose a patient to sepsis, peritonitis, or bowel infarction, which need to be recognized quickly. 2013 Mar; 121 (3): 654-673. Clarke-Pearson D.
