Aims: Shock detection techniques based on ultrasound technology have been used. This study was conducted to investigate the accuracy of RUSH in the early recognition of emergency department patients.
Materials & Methods: From April 2016 to May 2017, we recorded all the patients with shock at the emergency department of Shahid Mohammadi Hospital. The samples were selected using a simple sampling method. Shock was classified into four groups: hypovolemic, cardiogenic, distributive, and obstructive. The Kappa index was used for the final diagnosis.
Findings: The data for hypovolemic shock showed good sensitivity, excellent agreement, specificity, and accuracy, and the highest agreement with final diagnoses was observed for this shock. Good sensitivity, excellent specificity, accuracy, and agreement were observed for cardiogenic shock. The data for obstructive shock showed good sensitivity and agreement, as well as excellent specificity and accuracy. Moreover, low agreement, excellent specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy were seen in distributive shock.
Conclusion: These results provided reliable information for clinicians to quickly and accurately recognize the shock type in a hypotensive patient, especially for obstructive, cardiogenic, or hypovolemic shock types.
