The video shows step by step instructions and teaches probe positioning and ultrasound image interpretation for the following examinations: limited bedside echocardiogram to assess for pericardial effusion, left ventricular dysfunction and right ventricular strain; assessment of volume status by measuring the absolute volume and respiratory variation of the inferior vena cava; assessment of the abdominal aorta for dissection or ruptured aneurysm; assessment of the deep veins of the legs for deep vein thrombosis.
