Ultrasonographic protocol focused on post cardiac surgery CCROSS (Cardiac, Cerebral, Renal, Optic nerve, lung ultraSound Study). Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.89, n.2, pp.138-149.  Epub 09-Dez-2020. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.m19000026.

The use of echocardiography is very useful in the evaluation, treatment and follow-up of the patient in critical condition. Along with clinic and the stethoscope, it is a tool that complements the act of the physician faced with the diversity of etiologies that determine the state of shock and increase morbidity and mortality, especially in post cardiac surgery patients, in whom there are no management emergency postsurgical algorithms. In view of this situation, at the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez, a management algorithm has been made and improved in cardiac postsurgical patients: through focused ultrasonography, including transthoracic echography, pulmonary ultrasound, optic nerve ultrasound, and renal ultrasound by evaluating renal resistive indices. Several societies have created their protocols for addressing patients in critical condition, so in the Institute, specifically in cardiovascular intensive therapy, has created the CCROSS protocol (Cardiac, Cerebral, Renal, Optic nerve, lung UltraSound Study) for the initial approach of these patients, and it is being carried out a study for its validation, reproducibility and efficacy.
