Incidence of new sonographic abnormalities, and assessment of clinical value of scan as rated by the attending intensivist, by day of scan. Data are expressed as means. Error bars show standard deviation. A detailed written report was issued immediately after each examination, and the sonographic findings were presented to the attending intensivist and put into perspective of the patient’s clinical status. The attending intensivist then had to rate the clinical value of the sonographic findings on a scale of one to ten and determine whether the patient’s therapy was to be altered as a direct result of the assessment. Asterisks = statistically significant difference (p < 0.05)
