Holter Monitoring of Critically-ill Childern in PICU at Sohag University Hospital

• Conditions: Critically Ill Childern in PICU

• Registration Number: NCT05312333
• Lead Sponsor: Sohag University

Brief Summary

Holter Monitoring is a way to continuously check the electrical activity of the heart .

Continuous ECG recording show to be one of the most effective noninvasive clinical tools in the diagnosis of cardiac symptoms prognostic assessment and in the evaluation of many cardiac therapeutic intervention.

The clinical utility of ambulatory ECG lies in its ability to examine continuously a patient over an extended period of time, permitting patient ambulatory activity and facilitating the diurnal electrocardiographic examination of a patient in a changing environmental conditions (both physical and psychological) .

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Abnormalities detecred in Holter monitoring of critically-ill childern	one year	the relation between abnormalities detected in Holter and prognosis of critically-ill childern
Arrhythmia detected in critically-ill childern	one year	arrhythmia detected in Holter of critically ill childern whom have any critical illness
The relation between heart rate variability and outcome ,prognosis of illness	one year	Increased illness severity and poor outcomes ,the most common method of objectively assesing autonomic nervous system dysregulation is through measurement of heart rate variability ,which reflect the normal ,physiologic alternation in the intervals in the time between consecutive heart beats that occur when there is balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic inputs on the electrical conduction system of the heart.
