Functional echocardiography identifies association between early ventricular dysfunction and outcome in pediatric sepsis by Sonia Reveco, Sonia Reveco, Stella Barbagelata, Stella Barbagelata, Pablo Cruces, Pablo Cruces, Franco Diaz, Franco Diaz, Karla Yohanessen, Marcos Larraín, Mario Guerra, Alexander Bataszew, Alexander Bataszew

“…One out of four had ventricular dysfunction, and this group presented higher frequency of septic shock (69.2% vs. 34.2%, p = 0.028), higher frequency of total pSOFA ≥3 at 24 h (92% vs. 64%, p = 0.04), cardiovascular component of pSOFA (69.2% vs. 31.2%, p = 0.017), and fewer PICU-free days [18 [0–23] vs. 23 [18–25], p = 0.027], compared to normal ventricular function group. Additionally, there were more abnormal tissue doppler measurements, lower ś wave Z-Score [−0.6 [−1.3;0.4] vs. 0.5 [−0.2;1.1], p = 0.01] and lower é wave Z-Score [1.5 [−2;0,1] vs. −0.3 [−2;0.4], p = 0.03] in the ventricular dysfunction group.ConclusionVentricular dysfunction was associated with more sepsis severity at 24 hours, fewer PICU—free days. …”
