description Point-of-care transthoracic echocardiography is increasingly being utilized by the intensive care physicians in the management of hemodynamically unstable patients. However, its use in the management of critically ill patients requiring cardiopulmonary mechanical device support remains to be well described. In this case series, we present two case reports where point-of-care echocardiography was successfully used by the intensive care team in diagnosing and managing problems related to cardiopulmonary assist device malposition. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: The online version of this article (10.1186/s13089-017-0080-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
