About this trial
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 criteria

patient needing red blood cell transfusion
consent
social protection

Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
transthoracic echocardiography
Diagnostic testE wave, A wave, e' and vdi measurement
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
E/A ratio modification
E/A ratio permits to estimate left ventricle pressure
Secondary outcomes
E/e' ratio modification
E/e' assesses left ventricle diastolic function
E wave deceleration time
E wave deceleration time is a reflect of left atrium pressures
Velocity-time Integral (VTI) modification
Aortic velocity-time integral is the reflect of cardiac output
Lung score modification
Lung score permits to asses if extravascular water is present in lungs
