This guide focuses on recognising the syndrome and its mimics, emphasising the importance of dynamic imaging techniques like POCUS and echo to exclude conditions such as PE and ARDS. It advocates for treating the underlying mechanisms rather than just the symptoms, recommending rapid vasodilation and careful diuresis. Finally, it highlights the need for ongoing reassessment and refinement of treatment strategies, utilising ultrasound and perfusion metrics to guide therapy and prevent recurrence.
