Evaluating Frequency and Yield of Echocardiography in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
TTE frequently is used in the noncardiac PICU, but its diagnostic yield varies widely on the basis of clinical indications. This study emphasizes the need for careful use of TTE in the PICU, with consideration of pretest probability and clinical context to enhance diagnostic effectiveness in critically ill pediatric patients.
