Linear probe used to evaluate thoracic cavity bilaterally at lung bases anterolaterally.

Focused bedside cardiac ultrasound performed
Indication: unexplained tachycardia
Findings: parasternal long,parasternal short views were obtained. Cardiac motion was present with contractility appearing grossly adequate. Pericardial fluid was absent. IVC visualized in long-axis at point of entry into heart, dynamic collapse with inspiration.
