Multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound for COVID-19 (PoCUS4COVID): international expert consensus.

abstract：:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in the critically ill and is associated with adverse outcomes. Although there are plausible benefits from conversion and maintenance of sinus rhythm (the so-called 'rhythm-control' strategy), recent randomized trials have failed to demonstrate th...
