Hypotension is a common endpoint to many disease processes and can be evaluated with ultrasonography at the bedside. This ultrasound protocol can be used to examine the key organs involved in maintaining a blood pressure and the areas within the torso where fluid can collect. Systematically investigating these areas can provide the health care team with key information concerning the hypotensive state. This protocol examines the torso from the geometric perspective of a cross (Trinity).

Key Words: hypotension • ultrasound • Trinity • emergency • shock
