Overview

Speckle tracking may identify subclinical myocardial dysfunction in pediatric septic shock missed by ejection fraction; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging detect impaired myocardial performance in children with septic shock that is not recognized by conventional echocardiography?

P
Population
15 pediatric patients with septic shock (by ACCP/SCCM consensus criteria) and 30 age- and gender-matched healthy controls
I
Intervention
Two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging
C
Comparator
Conventional echocardiography (ejection fraction and fractional shortening)
O
Outcome
Myocardial performance measured by tissue displacement, velocity, strain, and strain rate in radial, longitudinal, and circumferential planessurrogate

Speckle tracking imaging can detect subclinical myocardial depression in pediatric septic shock that is missed by conventional echocardiographic measures like ejection fraction.
