Uses of Echo in High Risk Obstetric Cases

Abstract

Focused cardiac ultrasound (FOCUS) is carefully investigated in this review article, which focuses on its use in the Obstetric Intensive Care Unit (OICU) and highlights the significant role that it plays in the treatment of pregnant patients who are experiencing cardiovascular problems. The physiological alterations that take place throughout pregnancy, the effects of conditions such as preeclampsia and hyperemesis gravidarum, and the benefits of employing echocardiography to check heart function and conduct direct fluid administration were all topics that were investigated by our team. Along with the challenges and limitations of echocardiography in fluid management, it is important to emphasize the necessity of understanding these changes in order to provide effective therapeutic action and improve the outcomes for both the mother and the fetus.
