Central Venous Pressure Estimation by Ultrasound Measurement of Inferior Vena Cava and Aorta Diameters in Pediatric Critical Patients: An Observational Study.

Objectives: To evaluate the ability to predict central venous pressure by ultrasound measured inferior vena cava and aortic diameters in a PICU population and to assess interoperator concordance.

Design: Noninterventional observational study.

Setting: PICU of a tertiary-care academic center.

The quality of life in extracorporeal life support survivors: single-center experience of a long-term follow-up.

Objective: To evaluate the health-related quality of life on a very long-term follow-up in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during neonatal and pediatric age.

Design: Prospective follow-up study.

Setting: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary-care University-Hospital.
