Overview
Echo cardiogram is a valuable tool to asses the cardiac output. It helps in determining the perfusion. Ultrasound is used for determining the cause of confusion in certain abdominal conditions like any liver injuries, bleeds in to abdomen, injury to major vessels in abdomen.
Echo/Ultrasound
- Echo helps in determining the cardiac output reflecting the perfusion status. It is useful in condition's where cardiogenic shock is the cause of confusion in the patient.
- Ultrasound abdomen is used for evaluating various intra abdominal patholgies, abscess, cirrhosis, fluid accumulation, bleeds.
