SVV and FTc by USCOM may predict fluid responsiveness after pediatric CHD surgery; leaves open whether parameters should guide care.
Does stroke volume variation (SVV) measured by an ultrasonic cardiac output monitor predict fluid responsiveness in children after congenital heart disease surgery?
Stroke volume variation measured noninvasively by an ultrasonic cardiac output monitor can effectively predict fluid responsiveness in children following congenital heart disease surgery, particularly in those with higher inotropic scores.
