AB  - This  chapter  reviews  an  important  component  of  critical  care  ultrasonography  (CCUS),  which  is  basic  critical  care  echocardiography  (CCE).  For  purpose  of  the  discussion,  the  term  goal-directed  echocardiography  (GDE)  and  basic  CCE  are  used  interchangeably.  They  refer  to  a  limited  cardiac  ultrasonography  examination  performed  by  the  intensivist  at  bedside  of  the  patient  with  hemodynamic  failure  in  order  to  establish  diagnosis  and  guide  management  of  the  shock  state.  The  examination  differs  from  cardiology-type  echocardiography  in  the  intensivist  all  aspects  of  the  examination.  Image  acquisition,  image  interpretation,  and  application  of  the  results  are  performed  by  the  bedside  clinician  who  is  charge  of  the  case.  There  is  no  delay  in  performance  or  interpretation  of  the  study,  nor  is  there  any  problem  with  clinical  disassociation  that  occurs  when  the  ultrasonographer  is  not  directly  involved  with  management  of  the  case.  GDE  may  be  repeated  as  often  as  required  by  the  clinical  situation  in  order  to  track  the  evolution  of  disease  and  response  to  therapy.
