Role of Point of Care Ultrasound in the Absence of Radial pulse and unrecordable Blood pressure during the Assessment of Shock: Case report

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been an integral part of patient evaluation in the Emergency Department. It has been used increasingly for the evaluation of critically ill and trauma patients. We report a case of 60-year-old male patient who presented to the Emergency department with flank pain and urinary symptoms suggesting pyelonephritis with unrecordable blood pressure indicating potential septic shock, but the absence of bilateral radial pulses triggered the use of POCUS which reveal bilateral radial artery occlusion.
