McConnell in Shock
The ideal approach to hemodynamically unstable patients requires the quick identification of the type of shock and its etiology. This can be a challenge in critically ill patients due to the limited information, the wide number of differential diagnosis and the need for fast intervention. Point-of-c...

description | The ideal approach to hemodynamically unstable patients requires the quick identification of the type of shock and its etiology. This can be a challenge in critically ill patients due to the limited information, the wide number of differential diagnosis and the need for fast intervention. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a non-invasive, low-cost, real-time and reliable tool used to rapidly and accurately assess hemodynamically unstable patients at the bedside. It can support diagnosis, tailor therapy and guide further workup, especially in patients deemed too unstable to undergo other imaging studies. The authors describe the case of a patient in obstructive shock due to pulmonary embolism, in which McConnell sign was identified by bedside echocardiography, before lab tests and pulmonary computerized tomography angiogram results were obtained |
