This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
This trial tests a new way to measure how much blood your heart pumps using a simple ultrasound from under your ribs. It may help doctors monitor your condition without more invasive tests.
This trial uses bedside heart ultrasound to look for right-sided heart strain in people in the ICU. It may help doctors recognize heart injury earlier in patients who need breathing machines and/or strong blood-pressure support.
This study tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to see heart structure and blood flow in children with or without congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to improve imaging without risk, using a short scan during a regular check-up.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels are working in children with shock in the pediatric intensive care unit. The goal is to find better ways to monitor and treat them.
This trial tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to look at the brains of babies under 2 years old with serious heart problems. It aims to see if this method can provide better images to help doctors care for your baby.
