Bubble Time to diagnose Right Ventricular Failure
Oct 24, 2024
Right Ventricular(RV) failure presents a significant challenge in the emergency department. It can affect our resuscitative efforts. The only way to diagnose it is with echocardiography. That may not be an option in many emergency departments and POCUS skills may not be adequate to give us the necessary information we need.
This study proposed "a novel method of identifying RV dysfunction using RV “bubble time,” which is the duration of time bubbles from a saline solution flush are visualized in the RV on POCUS echocardiography."
