Why the study?
Which echocardiographic parameter of right ventricular systolic function best reflects right ventricular ejection fraction in critically ill patients remains uncertain.

Supports TAPSE and S' as preferred RV indices in critical care echo; leaves open impact on management or outcomes.
Which echocardiographic indices of right ventricular systolic function best correlate with thermodilution-derived right ventricular ejection fraction in critically ill patients?
In critically ill patients, TAPSE and S' are the echocardiographic indices that best correlate with thermodilution-derived right ventricular ejection fraction.
