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.
床旁经胸超声心动图越来越多地被重症监护医师用于血流动力学不稳定患者的管理。然而，其在需要心肺机械装置支持的危重症患者管理中的应用仍有待充分描述。在本病例系列中，我们展示了两例病例报告，其中重症监护团队成功使用床旁超声心动图诊断和处理与心肺辅助装置位置不当相关的问题。
