Pediatric Profound Dengue Shock Syndrome and Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound During Mechanical Ventilation to Guide Treatment: Single-Center Retrospective Study, 2013-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Profound dengue shock syndrome (DSS) complicated by severe respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation (MV) accounts for high case fatality rates among PICU-admitted patients. A major challenge to management is the assessment of intravascular volume, which can be hampered by severe plasma leakage and the use of MV.

Design

Retrospective cohort, from 2013 to 2021.

Patients

Sixty-seven children with profound DSS supported by MV, some of whom underwent bedside point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for assessment and monitoring of hemodynamics and fluid administration.

Setting

PICU of the tertiary Children's Hospital No. 2 in Vietnam.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

We analyzed data clinical and laboratory data duri
