Your breakdown of the Rush exam (amongst other work you have published) is helping me: 1) better understand and use US in the ED 2) compile my research protocol on US of IVC in the positively ventilated- is it still reliable as a preload surrogate?

Learn the RUSH Exam Ultrasound Protocol to Evaluate your Hypotensive Patients in Shock using the HI MAP Mnemonic!

The RUSH (Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hypotension) exam: The RUSH exam was initially described as early as 2006 and has evolved through the years into many different yet similar protocols. The initial RUSH protocol, now often remembered by the pneumonic HI-MAP, evaluates 5 major areas (Heart, IVC, Morrison’s pouch or the focused assessment ...

In this paper, we outline the components and rationale for the rapid ultrasound for shock and hypotension (RUSH) exam. In 2001, Rose et al. reviewed an ultrasound protocol they had created to evaluate the undifferentiated hypotension patient.

The RUSH exam (Rapid Ultrasound in SHock examination), presented in this article, represents a comprehensive algorithm for the integration of bedside ultrasound into the care of the patient in shock. By focusing on a stepwise evaluation of the shock patient defined here as "Pump, Tank, and Pipes," c …

2022年2月3日 · The Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hypotension (RUSH) Exam is a protocolized ultrasound exam that can be done in minutes to narrow your differential and guide potentially lifesaving interventions. Undifferentiated patients showing …

2023年4月24日 · The RUSH exam is a useful, validated clinical tool that can be used rapidly at the bedside to help establish the etiology of an otherwise undifferentiated patient’s hypotension. Multiple resources are available to guide learners through the examination details, for example, probe selection, sequencing, and interpretation of the acquired images.

2023年8月21日 · Rapid-Ultrasound-for-Shock-and Hypotension (RUSH) is used to rapidly assess differential diagnosis causes of shock or hypotension. The acronym HIMAP makes it easier to remember the different parts of this protocol. H– Heart; …

For the RUSH exam, we generally look to break down LV function into broad categories including hyperdynamic, normal, or diminished, with lesser focus on the exact ejection fraction.

The RUSH (Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hypotension) exam allows a quick bedside evaluation of a patient with undifferentiated shock. This video demonstrates the ultrasound protocol.
