In the neonatal and pediatric intensive care setting, bedside cardiac ultrasound is often used
to assess ventricular dimensions and function. Depending upon the underlying disease …

Abstract “Golden Hour” of neonatal life is defined as the first hour of post-natal life in both
preterm and term neonates. This concept in neonatology has been adopted from adult …

Background Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is nowadays an essential tool in critical care.
Its role seems more important in neonates and children where other monitoring techniques …

Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) involves the use of comprehensive
echocardiography to appraise cardiovascular physiology and neonatal hemodynamics to …

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

One of the major challenges of neonatal intensive care is the early detection and
management of circulatory failure. Routine clinical assessment of the hemodynamic status of …

Several minimally-invasive technologies are available for cardiac output (CO) measurement
in children, but the accuracy and precision of these devices have not yet been evaluated in a …

Introduction Very and extremely preterm infants frequently have brain injury-related long-
term neurodevelopmental problems. Altered perfusion, for example, seen in the context of a …

Circulatory monitoring is currently limited to heart rate and blood pressure assessment in the
majority of neonatal units globally. Non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NiCO) in term …

Background Developmental physiology can alter pharmacotherapy in preterm populations.
Because of ethical and clinical constraints in studying this vulnerable age group …
