Decision tree of FALLS-protocol (Fluid Administration Limited by Lung Sonography). Lung Ultrasound in the hemodynamic assessment of Shock.


A decision tree facilitating the understanding of the FALLS-protocol. According to Weil classification, cardiac and lung ultrasound sequentially rule out obstructive, then cardiogenic (from left heart) then hypovolemic then distributive shock, i.e. septic shock in current practice.  BLUE-protocol =Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency
