Interrater Reliability of Point-of-Care Cardiopulmonary Ultrasound in Patients With Septic Shock: An Analysis of Agreement Between Treating Clinician and Expert Reviewers.

Our study demonstrated high IRR for preload volume parameters (IVC size and presence of B-lines), but not for cardiac parameters (LV function and RV function and size) in patients presenting with concern for septic shock. Future research must focus on determining sonographer and patient-specific factors affecting CPUS interpretation in real-time.
