Cardiac output assessed by non-invasive monitoring is associated with ECG changes in children with critical asthma

摘要: The primary aim of this study was to determine changes in CI and SI, if any, children hospitalized with status asthmatics during the course treatment as measured by non-invasive EC monitoring. secondary there is an association between Abnormal (defined 95 % tile adjusted for age) ECG ST waves changes) Non-invasive cardiac output (CO) recordings were obtained daily from admission (Initial) discharge (Final). Changes SI measurements compared using paired t tests or 1-way ANOVA. on Initial CO recording analyzed Fischer’s exact test. Data are presented mean ± SEM differences reported confidence interval; p < 0.05 considered significant. Thirty-five critical asthma analyzed. decreased 6.2 0.2 4.5 0.1 [−1.6 (−0.04 −0.37)] L/min/m2 hospitalization. There no change SI. a significant (p = 0.02).
