Interventions

PROCEDURE

HF focused POCUS

* POCUS findings guide diuretic therapy adjustments by treating physicians * POCUS is performed with handheld device Vscan air SL® or Vscan extend®, GE Healthcare. * Sector probe and abdominal preset are used. Only B-mode is used. * The image depth is 15 cm or more to evaluate the structures sufficiently. * Patient position is supine or semirecumbent. For the pleural effusion exam, the preferred position is sitting. 1. Lungs: Assessment of B-lines in midclavicular and midaxillary zones. 2. Pleural Effusion 3. Inferior Vena Cava 4. Ascites
