Integrated clinical ultrasound in critically ill not traumatized patients. A practical approach including lung ultrasound
In critical care medicine the accurate assessment of the patient, and rapid decision paths, are essential to save lives and to improve diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
e causes of hemodynamic instability or cardiac arrest have to be rapidly identified and treated.
Often, the diagnosis is difficult and can not be made with the only physical examination.
Ultrasonography has the characteristics of an ideal diagnostic tool, because it may be performed at the bedside, repeated without discomfort to the patient and without exposure to ionizing radiation.
Its clinical use is the peculiarity of the emergency ultrasound and in this sense it may be considered as an extension of the physical examination.
e integration of data that can be quickly obtained by the echographic evaluation of heart, lungs, inferior vena cava, and the abdominal venous system of the lower limbs, are often essential for the diagnosis and treat­ment of critically ill patients.

Echocardiography in emergency
e assessment of the cardiac performance is of crucial importance in the treatment of hemodynamically unstable patients. In emergency most useful information may be obtained through subcostal and apical 4 chambers scans.
Global ventricular function may be evaluated qualitatively by visual estimation alone (eye balling). It is shown that this method is effective when used by medical experts2.
e real time evaluation of the kinetics and the size of the heart chambers operated by an expert physician provides an immediate diagnosis about the global cardiac function. In the most critical situations it is sufficient to know whether cardiac function is normal, moderately or severely depressed (Focused Cardiac Ultrasound).
In critically ill patients a significant dysfunction of the left ventricular function is common and the echocardiographic assessment should be integrated in their treatment.
e quantitative evaluation of the contractility of the left ventricle (LV) requires good qual­ity pictures since the contour of the endocardium should be well displayed. In emergency contexts endocardial borders may be difficult to detect for the limitations of transthoracic

echocardiography (TTE) or for the non optimal quality of the images. e TTE provides sufficient information on LV function in the majority of critically ill patients (> 80%)3. e transesophageal echo (TEE) is a good alternative when the TTE is not possible or not suf­ficiently informative.
e evaluation of the diastolic function through the patterns of ventricular filling is especially important in patients with acute heart failure with preserved systolic function. In this regard, the presence of significant LV hypertrophy or biatrial dilatation suggest diastolic dysfunction.
e dysfunction of the right ventricle (RV) is quite common in critically ill patients and is often underestimated4. is may be secondary to an intrinsic depression of the contractility of the RV, to acute pulmonary embolism, acute increase in pulmonary resistance (frequent in the case of ARDS), mechanical ventilation, sepsis or infarction of the right ventricle

.
e RV dysfunction may, for example, explain the lack of response to the volemic expan­sion in some patients with sepsis8. Finally, echocardiography is proving an extremely useful tool for the monitoring of myocardial contractility during the infusion of inotropes and/or vasoactive amines (Clips 1-8).

Echocardiogram with dobutamine infusion at 11 y/ kg/m. A further improvement in contractility is observed. If the dose of dobutamine is further increased and there are no further improvements, the correct dosage for this patient is 12 y/kg/m.

Echocardiography quickly highlights the presence of pericardial effusion and signs of cardiac tamponade (Fig. 1).
Pericardial Eusion
Right Atrium Collapse
Figure 1 – Apical 4 chambers scan in a patient with hypotension in the emergency room. A pericardial effusion and the collapse of the right atrium are observed.
Even a rapid qualitative assessment of the size of the cardiac chambers may be of extreme usefulness in critically ill patients. In the apical 4 chambers scan, the LV is normally larger than the RV (no more than 5.5 cm, while the RV is only two thirds of the LV). e atria are the same size (no more than 5 cm).
In a patient in shock, if the right cavities are larger than the left ones, for example, a massive pulmonary embolism is likely (Fig. 2).

B: apical 4 chambers scan in a patient in shock. The right cavities are dilated, suggesting a possible acute pulmonary embolism.
e end-systolic obliteration of the LV suggests a severe hypovolemia, and this may antici­pate hypotension9. It should also be noted that other clinical situations, such as a reduction in peripheral resistance, aortic and mitral insufficiency and severe septal defect, can lead to the end-systolic obliteration of the LV. Normally, LV end diastolic area (4 chambers view) is 33±8 cm2 and LV end systolic area is 11±3 cm2.
Valvular diseases can be diagnosed quickly through the echocardiographic examination. e severe stenosis or mitral or aortic insufficiency can result in a dramatic reduction in
cardiac output. Many of the complications of acute myocardial infarction (acute mitral regurgitation secondary
to rupture or ischemic papillary muscle dysfunction, myocardial extended RV, rupture of the interventricular septum or the free wall of the LV), generally result in a state of cardiogenic shock quickly diagnosed by echocardiography at the bedside.
Ultrasonographic assessment of the volume status
e echographic evaluation of the diameter and collapsibility index of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is an accurate method to measure the right atrial pressure and thus the central venous pressure (CVP)
is method is very reliable in discriminating between right atrial pressure less than or greater than 10 mmHg12. A dilated inferior vena cava (>20 mm) in the absence of the physiological reduction of the inspiratory diameter (> 50%) indicates high levels of pressure in the right atrium.
In patients with hypovolemia, the IVC is generally thin (<1.7 cm) and collapses completely during inspiration (Fig. 3) (Clip 9). e ventricles appear small with end-systolic obliteration of the LV and lung ultrasonography shows a “dry” lung for the absence of B.
e echocardiographic assessment of RV function is crucial for the correct interpretation of the values of CVP or the diameter of the IVC. Patients with RV dysfunction may have high values of right atrial pressure even in hypo- or normovolemia (Fig. 4).

Figure 4 – Abdominal ultrasonography shows a dilated inferior vena cava (A) and in apical 4 chambers scan the right cavities are dilated (B). In this patient with acute pulmonary embolism, the diameter of the IVC reflects the high right atrial pressure and not a volume overload.
During the volemic expansion, monitoring the diameter and collapsibility of the IVC, the size of the heart chambers and their contractility and the pulmonary pattern (“dry” or “wet”) is a non-invasive mode practicable at the bedside and it is more accurate than the only values of CVP (Fig. 5). Moreover, it is now widely accepted that the values of CVP alone can not be considered sufficient for the management of intravascular volume13.

Lung ultrasound in emergency
e presence of multiple and diffuse B Lines indicates interstitial syndrome (IS). Its most common sources are represented by pulmonary edema due to different causes, interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis. In the critically ill patient, most often, the presence of bilateral and diffuse B Lines is expression of increased extravascular lung water of multiple B lines identifies, therefore, a “wet” lung, while their absence a “dry” lung (Fig. 6).

In critically ill patients the differential diagnosis between cardiogenic acute pulmonary edema (CAPE) and ARDS can be very difficult (see Chapter 7).
e pathophysiological difference between ARDS (pulmonary lesions) and CAPE (hydrostatic edema) results in different sonographic patterns with regard to the distribution of the interstitial syndrome. In ARDS, the integrity of the alveolar-capillary membrane is compromised and this causes early, widespread and heterogeneous edema, ranging from areas of ground glass to pulmonary consolidations. e heterogeneous involvement of the lung in ARDS explains the presence of “spared areas”. In addition, changes in the pleural line are the rule in patients with ARDS. e areas of ground glass evident on computed tomography correspond to areas in which, on echography, coalescing B Lines appear in the lung (white lung). In cardiogenic acute pulmonary edema (CAPE) the interstitial syndrome (IS) is distributed in a homogene­ous way, involving both the front and rear fields.
In CAPE the upper lung may be less affected by the IS, but spared areas can not be observed on the basis of the pathophysiological mechanism of CAPE (hydrostatic edema that responds to the law of all or nothing, starting from the pulmonary basis and subsequently spreading to the upper lung fields) (Fig. 7)14.

In patients with massive pulmonary embolism, acute exacerbation of COPD and asthma, in the absence of other co-morbidities, the lung is “dry” and there are no B Lines18. It should also be noted that in about 70-80% of cases of pulmonary embolism, subpleural consolidat­ing lesions can be viewed on echography

e absence of sliding in the anterior scans and the presence of lung points have a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 100% for the diagnosis of PNX17. e volume of PNX is not quantifiable by ultrasound but the hemodynamic impact may be inferred from the cardiac and caval evaluation (small and hyperkinetic heart chambers associated with a dilated and hypomobile IVC represent typical findings of hypertensive PNX).
Echography is the best method for the diagnosis of pleural effusion and also has the ability to discriminate between exudates and transudates
Ultrasound is also an excellent diagnostic tool for diagnosing pulmonary consolidations
