The determination of fluid responsiveness in the critically ill child is of vital importance, more
so as fluid overload becomes increasingly associated with worse outcomes. Dynamic …

We conducted a prospective, observational study to investigate the relationship between the
respiratory variation in aortic blood flow peak velocity (ΔVPeak) measured by …

Objective: Fluid administration is the initial step of treatment of unstable pediatric patients.
Evaluation of fluid responsiveness is crucial in mechanically ventilated children to avoid fluid …

Background Accurate volume assessment is crucial in children under fluid therapy. Over the
last decade, respiratory variation of aortic peak velocity (△ VPeak) has been applied in …

Background Numerous studies have compared perioperative esophageal Doppler
monitoring (EDM) guided intravascular volume replacement strategies with conventional …

Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to determine the accuracy of the respiratory variations
in aortic peak flow velocity (delta Vpeak) in predicting fluid responsiveness and the …

Background Transthoracic echocardiography is the most common non-invasive technique
for the study of the left ventricle (LV) and the proximal aorta. Despite the clinical value, there …

Background: The purpose of the present study was to establish the normal values of flow
propagation velocity (FPV) in healthy children and examine the variables that affect FPV in …

Background The descending aorta velocity is important predictor of aortic disease in
children and can be very helpful in some clinical and surgical decision making. Aim The …

Background Echocardiographic reference intervals (RI s) for left ventricular outflow tract
(LVOT) and velocity time integral (VTI) are scarce in pediatrics. Aims (a) to generate RI s and …
