Echocardiography

A rapid beside echocardiogram can identify several rapidly reversible causes of PEA such as cardiac tamponade, myocardial infarction, cardiac rupture and underfilling of the ventricle due to hypovolemia. Elevated right heart filling pressures suggest pulmonary embolism. Tension pneumothorax can also be observed on a bedside echocardiogram.
