Optimizing Hemodynamic Management in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Leveraging Neonatal Echocardiography

Intensive care of the neonate involves a delicate balance of monitoring, intervention, and adaptation, particularly in the face of hemodynamic instability. Neonatal hemodynamic management has become increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive in recent years, driven by a deeper understanding of cardiovascular physiology and the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Traditionally, hemodynamic status and end-organ perfusion are assessed utilizing measurements of heart rate, blood pressure, serum lactate, capillary refill time, and urine output.
