Top 10 ultrasonography articles for the hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring of critically ill patients


A new year as passed and we are committed to find the top 10 articles (according to FICC) in the medical literature for the hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring of the critically ill patient using #POCUS.
We´ve performed a broad search in the main journals, social media and personal communications of whats trending on the internet regarding the #ultrasonographic hemodynamic, pulmonary and neurological evaluation of patients in the ICU or the emergency department.
The International forum on Critical Care (FICC) wishes all a merry christmas and a happy new year!
