cardiac assessment and resuscitation in the peri-intubation period
RV FUNCTION
how bad & acute or chronic
POCUS can be used to quickly evaluate for RV dysfunction and potential cardiovascular collapse in the peri-intubation period. The apical 4-chamber view and TAPSE are key components of assessing the RV.
measuring tapse
Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion or (TAPSE) has a strange name but is simple to measure. It’s done in the apical 4 chamber view using m-mode. We show you how to do it here. Is the measurement less than 1.6cm? That means poor contractility.
