A review of acute right ventricular failure, highlighting the differences in pressure-volume loops between the left and right ventricles, the pathophysiology of RV dilation, and the importance of treating the underlying cause while providing supportive measurements. It emphasizes the use of quick echo assessments and portal vein flow to diagnose and manage RV failure in the ICU.
Differences in P,V loop of the left versus right ventricle
RV copes with V easily & sole preload increase rarely causes acute failure
Problem is increased afterload or impaired contractility
RV Dilation
Find the underlying disease and treat the cause
Quick echo focusing on RV dilation, septal shift, D-shaping will immediately get you the diagnosis
Portal vein flow to determine optimal preload
Increased afterload
Impaired contractility
Underlying disease identification
Optimal preload determination
