AB Critical  care  ultrasound  (CCUS)  is  an  extension  of  the  physical  examination.  The  front-line  clinician  performs,  interprets,  and  applies  goal-directed  examinations  to  rapidly  diagnose  and  manage  life-threatening  conditions,  including  acute  respiratory  failure  and  undifferentiated  shock.  The  American  College  of  Chest  Physicians/La  Société  de  Ré  animation  de  Langue  Francaise  Statement  on  Competence  in  Critical  Care  Ultrasonography  (ACCP/SRLF  Statement)  highlights  five  areas  of  focus  for  intensivists:  cardiac,  thoracic  (consisting  of  both  the  lungs  and  the  pleura),  vascular  (consisting  of  both  diagnostic  and  vascular  access),  and  abdominal  ultrasound.1  CCUS  examinations  are  not  comprehensive  examinations  that  evaluate  all  anatomic  structures  and  measurements  of  an  organ  or  body  region.
