Impact of point-of-care ultrasound on the hospital length of stay for internal medicine inpatients with cardiopulmonary diagnosis at admission: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial—the IMFCU-1 (Internal Medicine Focused Clinical Ultrasound) study

Table 3 Hemodynamic state definitions

	Normal	Hypovolemia	Vasodilated	Primary systolic failure	Primary diastolic failure	Systolic and diastolic failure	RV failure^a
LV volume	Normal	Decreased	Normal	Increased	Normal/decreased	Increased	RV increased
LV systolic function	Normal	Normal/Decreased	Increased	Decreased	Normal	Decreased	RV decreased
LA filling pressure	Normal	Decreased	Normal	Normal	Increased	Increased	Increased

Hemodynamic state is defined based on LV volume, LV systolic function, and LA filling pressure
^a RV failure can be a hemodynamic state by itself or in combination with LV failure
LA left atrium, LV left ventricle, RV right ventricle
