After performing thousands of critical care echocardiograms, we began placing them into categories to allow more consistent treatment recommendations. The categories became hemodynamic profiles which consider clinical information including heart rate (HR), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), combined with ultrasound findings. The profile is then used with the fluid strategy to create recommendations about inotropic support, systemic vasopressors, and fluid management.
