What is Monitoring patients with acute dyspnea with serial point-of-care ultrasound of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the lungs (LUS): a systematic review about?
## Purpose: The primary aim was to investigate if treatment guided by serial ultrasound of the inferior vena cava-collapsibility index (ivc-ci) and b-lines on lung ultrasound (lus) could reduce mortality, readmissions, and length of stay (los) in acutely dyspneic patients admitted to a hospital, compared to standard monitoring. the secondary aim was to determine how the changes of b-lines and ivc-ci are correlated to vitals and symptoms. ## Methods: A systematic search was conducted on pubmed, embase, cochrane, google scholar, web of science, scopus, opengrey, proquest, and databases for ongoing trials. the risk of bias was assessed according to study design. ## Results: Of the 8258 studies identified, 50 were selected for full-text screening, and 24 studies were chosen for data extraction (19 pre-post-, two non-randomized controlled-, two randomized controlled-, and one retrospective cohort study), covering 2040 patients. most studies were single-center and had small study populations with only heart failure patients. the risk of bias was high. no studies evaluated how the difference between two ultrasound measurements correlated with the primary outcomes. seven studies reported t
