Comparison of the efficacy of non-invasive USCOM and milrinone in children with severe pneumonia and heart failure and its effect on brain natriuretic peptide levels
AIM: To observe the clinical effect of non-invasive cardiac output monitoring( USCOM)combined with milrinone in children with severe pneumonia and heart failure and the effect on brain natriuretic peptide levels. METHODS: Seventyeight children with severe pneumonia and heart failure were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 39 cases in each group. The control group received oxygen,anti-infection,antiheart failure and maintenance of ionic acid-base balance treatment,and was given i...
