==What it is==<br />
The FALLS-protocol is an ultrasound evaluation based protocol for the assessment of patients with acute circulatory failure.<br />
It relies on the evaluation of the pleura, lungs and pericardium using ultrasound to in a step wise fashion try to define which type of circulatory shock is present (according to Weil's shock classification).<br />

The FALLS-protocol<ref>http://www.heartlungandvessels.org/index.php?pag=rivista_articles&id_numero=1&id_articolo=223</ref><br />
<br />
==Endpoints==<br />
Administration of iv fluid until clinical improvement or development of a B-profile.<br />
<br />
==On which patients to use==<br />
A shocked patient with an A-profile - called a FALLS-responder.<br />
<br />
==Limitations==<br />
No value in patients presenting with B-profile - no endpoint can be defined.<br />
Cardiogenic shock with no lung edema - e.g. right ventricular infarction - are associated with an A-profile.<br />

Administration of iv fluid until clinical improvement or development of a B-profile.<br />

==On which patients to use==<br />
On any patient with unexplained hemodynamic shock.<br />

No value in patients presenting with B-profile - no endpoint can be defined.<br />
Cardiogenic shock with no lung edema - e.g. right ventricular infarction - are associated with an A-profile.<br />
