Study Arms (1)
ultrasound arm
EXPERIMENTALStandardized measurements were made and aorta was tried to be visualized in its entirety, and a minimum of three hard copy images were obtained: upper transverse subxiphoid section, lower transverse section for distal view of aorta, and longitudinal section (with origin of celiac trunk or superior mesenteric artery), determining the maximum diameter in centimeters (cm).
