The evolution of methods of ultrasonic diagnostics in intensive practice

The article is devoted to the use of ultrasound diagnostics methods to assess the functional state of the cardiovascular system in critical conditions in children and the choice of optimal hemodynamic support. The need for careful detailed monitoring in patients in pediatric intensive care units has been demonstrated, the low sensitivity and specificity of the currently widely used clinical signs are reflected, which limits their use in the choice of treatment methods. As an alternative, it is proposed to use ultrasound diagnostics that assess cardiac output, allowing you to make an informed decision on medical measures taking into account the current clinical situation. The wide possibilities and numerous advantages of ultrasonic navigation in providing assistance to patients with a wide variety of life-threatening conditions are described. The main advantage is the possibility of obtaining information in real time, directly at the bedside. A clinical case of a target-oriented intensive therapy of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in a nine-year-old child against the background of a septic process using methods of ultrasonic assessment of hemodynamic status is presented. The use of ultrasound imaging methods made it possible to identify the cause of the deterioration of the condition and conduct a reasonable treatment correction, which ensured the fastest regression of hemodynamic disorders and contributed to a favorable outcome of the disease. The simplicity and accessibility of the Teicholz estimate of the ejection fraction was noted, which allows it to be used in routine practice to select the optimal hemodynamic support and assess the effectiveness of treatment over time.
