Diagnostic Test: transthoracic echocardiography
Registration Number
NCT06060639
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to asses echocardiographic variations in emergency department's elderly patients receiving red blood cell transfusion. The main questions it aims to answer are :

* is there a modification of echocardiographic parameters after red blood cell transfusion ?

* which parameter is the most impacted by red blood cell transfusion ? Participants will have a transthoracic echocardiography before, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
E/A ratio modificationBase line, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion

E/A ratio permits to estimate left ventricle pressure

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
New York Heart Association scale (NYHA) modificationbaseline and 24 hour after red blood cells transfusion

NYHA is a validated scale to asses patient dyspnea

E wave deceleration timeBase line, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion

E wave deceleration time is a reflect of left atrium pressures

E/e' ratio modificationBase line, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion

E/e' assesses left ventricle diastolic function

Lung score modificationBase line, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion

Lung score permits to asses if extravascular water is present in lungs

Velocity-time Integral (VTI) modificationBase line, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion

Aortic velocity-time integral is the reflect of cardiac output
