Uninvasive Cardiac Output Monitoring (USCOM) in Critically Ill Children: Validation and Prediction of Hemodynamic Instability

Completed
Conditions

Registration Number
NCT02945748
Lead Sponsor
Rabin Medical Center
Brief Summary

Hemodynamically unstable ventilated PICU \& PCICU patients, which a decision for commencement in inotropic therapy or fluid bolus has been made, will be recruited.
