This document discusses using echocardiography to diagnose and manage acute respiratory failure. It outlines how echocardiography can differentiate between cardiogenic pulmonary edema caused by left heart failure and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema caused by conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome. It provides guidance on using echocardiography to estimate left ventricular filling pressures and diagnose diastolic heart failure. It also explores how echocardiography can evaluate right ventricular function in patients with acute respiratory failure and pulmonary edema.
