Summary

Introduction: The uncomplicated and focused transthoracic cardiac ultrasound examination, which is gentle for the patient, gives the doctor in a short time a lot of information about possible, as unrecognized pathologies of the organs of the chest.

Before a patient undergoes a planned procedure or intervention with a subsequent intensive stay, examinations are necessary from which the anesthetist/intensive physician has important information the state of health of the patient. The findings and the information will be used to plan the individual anesthesia procedures and intensive medical management, which is suitable for the patient.

The aim of this work is to investigate whether the use of a modified examination protocol in patients who need to be admitted to an intensive care unit has an influence on the actions of the intensive care physician. Does the information that is collected from the findings have a complementary influence in the planning of intensive care management? The Study objectives

Primary objectives:

What is the frequency with which pathological changes are detected?

Secondary objectives:

Do the additional findings have an influence on the intensive care procedure?

Conditions

  • Intensive Care Unit Syndrome

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Trans-esophageal echocardiography

The department registers an unplanned admission of a patient to the intensive care unit. The indication is verified again by the intensive care physician. In this case, the patient is then admitted to the intensive care unit, supervised by an intensive care physician, orientated and initiated therapeutic and diagnostic measures. As part of the planned transthoracic cardiac ultrasound examination, it is then selected whether the patient is suitable according to the patient's will and the inclusion or exclusion criteria. After clarification, time to think and consent, the examination is then carried out according to the protocol by approved doctors of the Clinic for Anesthesia, intensive care and pain therapy. Followed by digital storage for the finding. After the subsequent operation, the investigator determines whether knowledge of detected pathologies would have an effective influence on the anesthesiological procedure or not.
