Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to assess decision making skills of emergency physicians when dealing with hypotensive patients. The hypothesis is that decisions made based on physical exam and vital signs regarding fluid resuscitation by emergency physicians are not statistically equivalent to those that would be made based on the use of a non-invasive CVP measurement
