Abstract

In this review we explore Left Ventricular and Right Ventricular parameters that intensivists can use to evaluate, manage, and monitor the critically ill. Understanding these parameters, their clinical relevance, and potential pitfalls, is crucial for thorough and accurate patient assessment and management. Critical Care Echocardiography encompasses all the advanced cardiac and non-cardiac skillset needed to integrate the findings of Left Ventricular and Right Ventricular size and function. We advocate for a physiologic approach to the critically ill patient, tailoring therapy to reverse the etiology while simultaneously supporting circulation based on a sound understanding of left and right ventricular pressures, volumes, and flow.
