Background. Transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) is an increasingly popular method
used to monitor the complex hemodynamic changes in critically ill children. The purpose of …

Background Abdominal aorta pulsatility and blood flow patterns are important diagnostic
indicators in congenital heart disease. Reference values for these indexes are lacking …

Hemodynamic instability and inadequate cardiac performance are common in critically ill
children. The clinical assessment of hemodynamic status is reliant upon physical …

Dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness (FR), namely aortic blood flow velocity variation
(delta V peak), left ventricular velocity-time integral variation (delta VTI), stroke volume …

This study aims to evaluate the effect of assessing velocity time integral at different locations
across ventricular outflow tracts for calculating cardiac output (CO) in neonates. Velocity time …

In previous work, we postulated that mean aortic flow velocity (MAFV) might be a direct
measure of cardiac index. To investigate the assumptions inherent in this relation, we …

Background It is currently uncertain which hemodynamic monitoring device reliably
measures stroke volume and tracks cardiac output changes in pediatric cardiac surgery …

Background: Correlation between ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulsed Doppler
and tissue Doppler–derived E/e'ratio has been widely reported in adults but scarcely studied …

Background Right atrial pressure plays a critical role as a hemodynamic parameter in
diagnosing pulmonary hypertension and other cardiac diseases, as well as guiding the …

Background The evidence that plethysmographic variability index (PVI), pulse pressure
variation (PPV), FloTrac/Vigileo-derived stroke volume variation (SVV), and Ea dyn (dynamic …
