Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is:

* To study the clinical usefulness of nurse-performed ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations in a cardiac intensive care unit.
* To study reproducibility of nurse-performed ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations in a cardiac intensive care unit.
* To study which ultrasound measure that best correlate with the amount of pleural effusion.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For a period of 1 year patients in our cardiac intensive care unit will be recruited to nurse-drive ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations, after informed consent. Nurses underwent a training programme and their skills are approved by cardiologist. Our department does not always have a cardiologist on duty and indication for nurse-driven ultrasound examination is decided by the doctor responsible for the treatment, who not always are trained in echocardiography/ultrasound. We aim to study the described hypothesis.
