Choi SJ, et al. - This research was formulated in order to examine the existence of a correlation between central venous pressure (CVP) with the outcomes in pediatric septic shock patients. Based on the levels of CVP, patient survival illustrated that the CVP > 12-mmHg group had substantially greater mortality rates when compared to the other groups. Prominent connections were also reported between CVP > 12 mmHg, serum lactic acid levels, and the need for mechanical ventilation with mortality. Experts drew the conclusion that elevated CVP served as an independent risk factor for mortality in pediatric septic shock patients.
