    Outcome Measure

    Patients in emergency settings who require haemodynamic monitoring: change in clinical outcomes (length of hospital stay; morbidity and mortality; time to correct diagnosis, readmission rate), change in clinical management (Changes to treatment (such as admission for further hospital care; further haemodynamic monitoring; change of medication)), technical accuracy (correlation; reproducibility), safety outcomes (adverse events known to be associated with non-invasive continuous wave Doppler ultrasound are patient discomfort/tolerance to the procedure, adverse events (death, pulmonary artery rupture, bleeding, pneumothorax, infection, stroke, arrhythmias, respiratory obstruction and jugular vein thrombosis) (p. 8ff)
