Clips were reviewed for presence of decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), right ventricular dilation, presence of B\u2010lines, and pleural line abnormalities. Patients with worsening hypoxemic respiratory failure or shock requiring higher level of care and patients who expired were considered to have developed severe COVID\u201019. Regression analysis was performed to determine if there was a correlation between ED POCUS findings and development of severe COVID\u201019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 155 patients met study criteria; 148 patients had documented cardiac views and 116 patients had documented lung views (113 with both). Mean age was 66.5\u2009years old (\u00b118.6) and 53% of subjects were female. Subjects with decreased LVEF that was not previously documented had increased odds of having severe COVID during their hospitalization compared to those with old or no dysfunction (OR 5.66, 95% CI: 1.55\u201319.95, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.08).
