Impact of Echocardiography on Management of Critically Ill Neonates
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Echocardiography: Functional echocardiography assessment
Study summary
The goal of the study was to estimate the outcome (mortality and morbidity) among hemodynamically unstable neonates, as well as the time to return to hemodynamic stability following the use of ECHO in the management of hemodynamically unstable neonates.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Functional echocardiography ( ejection fraction using M mode echocardiography) — Repeat echocardiographic assessment on a daily basis ( 24 hours interval)
- Functional echocardiography fraction shortening by M mode echocardiography — Repeat echocardiographic assessment on a daily basis ( 24 hours interval)
- Assessment of ductus arteriosus ( diameter, shunt directionality ) by 2D and color doppler echocardiography — Repeat echocardiographic assessment 5 days after the first echo assessment
- Assessment of pulmonary hypertension — Repeat echocardiographic assessment on a daily basis ( 24 hours interval) following proposed treatment of pulmonary hypertension
Using peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity by colour doppler - Assessment of LV cardiac index — Repeat echocardiographic assessment on a daily basis ( 24 hours interval)
Assessment of LV outflow tract diameter by 2D/M mode echocardiography in parasternal long axis view and assessment of Velocity-time integral of PW in LV outflow tract by PW doppler in apical five-chamber view - Assessment of RV cardiac index — Repeat echocardiographic assessment on a daily basis ( 24 hours interval)
Assessment of RV outflow tract diameter by 2D echocardiography and Velocity-time integral of PW in RV outflow tract - Assessment of SVC flow — Repeat echocardiographic assessment on a daily basis ( 24 hours interval)
