Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Children admitted to the PICU. Undergoing echocardiography for suspected cardiovascular compromise (e.g., shock, sepsis, respiratory failure).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Structural congenital heart disease (except for small ASD/PDA not affecting EF). 2. Poor acoustic window precluding EPSS measurement. 3. Arrhythmias interfering with EPSS evaluation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sensitivity and Specificity of EPSS measurement for diagnosing Left Ventricular Systolic dysfunction in critically ill children, using echocardiography as gold standard.Timepoint: At admission/within 24 hours after PICU admission—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
