The emergency department (ED) plays a key role in the initial diagnosis and management of acute heart failure (AHF). Despite the advent of novel biomarkers and traditional methods of assessment, such as history, examination, and chest X-ray, diagnosis of the dyspnoeic ED patient is, at times, very challenging. Focused cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound has emerged as a valid, facile and efficient method to aid in the initial diagnosis and management of AHF.
急诊科在急性心力衰竭(AHF)的初始诊断和管理中起着关键作用。尽管出现了新型生物标志物以及诸如病史、体格检查和胸部X线等传统评估方法,但对于急诊科出现呼吸困难的患者进行诊断,有时仍极具挑战性。心脏和肺部重点超声已成为一种有效、便捷且高效的方法,有助于AHF的初始诊断和管理。
