Invasive mechanical ventilation and circulatory support constitute the highest step in cardiogenic shock therapy. Once established, taking the decision of weaning from such support is challenging. Intensive care unit (ICU) bedside echocardiography provides noninvasive, immediate, and low-cost monitoring of hemodynamic parameters such as cardiac output, filling pressure, structural disease, congestion status, and device functioning. Supplemented by an ultrasound of the lung and diaphragm, it is able to provide valuable information about signs suggesting a weaning failure. The aim of this article was to review the state of the art taking into account current evidence and knowledge on ICU bedside ultrasound for the evaluation of weaning from mechanical ventilation and circulatory support in cardiogenic shock.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10215108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,1]],"date-time":"2021-11-01T22:21:34Z","timestamp":1635805294000},"page":"5108","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Ultrasound Assessment in Cardiogenic Shock Weaning: A Review of the State of the Art"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8080-6682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rebeca","family":"Mu\u00f1oz-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mart\u00edn Jes\u00fas","family":"Garc\u00eda-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Jorge-P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marta M.","family":"Mart\u00edn-Cabeza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Manuela","family":"Izquierdo-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bel\u00e9n","family":"Mar\u00ed-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Amelia","family":"Duque-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Barrag\u00e1n-Acea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9863-3222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Lacalzada-Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, University Hospital of the Canary Islands, 38320 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e232","article-title":"Council on Cardi-ovascular and Stroke Nursing; Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research; and Mission: Lifeline.
