Currently, bedside ultrasound (US) is performed routinely in emergency department (ED)
patients with undifferentiated shock to help guide resuscitation. Previously, it has never
been possible to measure cardiac output on patients in the ED. Our clinical question looks
at whether the USCOM device gives clinically relevant information in addition to ED cardiac
US in patients with shock.
