TLDR
Investigation if treatment guided by serial ultrasound of the inferior vena cava-collapsibility index (IVC-CI) and B-lines on lung ultrasound (LUS) could reduce mortality, readmissions, and length of stay (LOS) in acutely dyspneic patients admitted to a hospital, compared to standard monitoring.
