Abstract		The availability of echocardiography improves considerably the clinical approach to most patients in intensive care units. Echocardiography is a diagnostic tool, but it also provides the means for the hemodynamic assessment of patients. It is non-invasive, rapid and requires relatively little work from the staff of intensive care units. Consequently, echocardiography is often the first examination performed with the critically ill.
Summary		dostopnost ultrazvočne preiskave srca izboljša pristop k obravnavi bolnikov na intenzivnem oddelku. Ultrazvočna preiskava srca nam pomaga tako pri diagnozi kakor tudi pri oceni hemodinamskega stanja bolnika. Preiskava je hitra in neinvazivna in sorazmerno malo obremenjuje osebje intenzivnega oddelka, zato je to pogosto prva preiskava, ki jo opravimo pri kritično bolnem.
