Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

transthoracic echocardiography: E wave, A wave, e' and vdi measurement

Study 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.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• E/A ratio modification — Base line, just after and 15 minutes after red blood cell transfusion
  E/A ratio permits to estimate left ventricle pressure
