Description
Summary:In their study, the authors aimed to explore the association between the ratio of right ventricular end-diastolic diameter (EDD) to left ventricular EDD (RV/LV) and a poor prognosis in severe sepsis and septic shock. [...]reasons, there could have been a selection bias. [3] A one-time TTE cannot be representative of the course of critically ill septic patient due to the complexity of its physiology, this is the reason why it is difficult to believe that an isolated TTE examination would have influence on patient mortality during their ICU staying.
