Résumé

Ultrasonography is essential in intensive care units for rapid, real-time assessment and management of various organ systems, particularly for patients with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices. It aids in the diagnosis, safe placement, and monitoring of MCS devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Impella, and implantable left ventricular assist devices, used for conditions like cardiogenic shock and severe respiratory failure. Ultrasonography ensures precise device positioning, identifies complications, and facilitates weaning. Future advancements in AI, portable devices, and advanced imaging techniques will enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
