Summary
ESPNIC's Cardiovascular Dynamics section provides expert consensus recommendations on haemodynamic monitoring in critically ill children, developed via literature review, Quaker-based consensus discussion and modified RAND/UCLA appropriateness voting. From 100 candidate statements, 72 achieved strong agreement and were consolidated into 36 recommendations spanning four key areas of haemodynamic monitoring. The authors note the scarcity of high-quality paediatric evidence, so most recommendations rest on expert opinion. The document is intended to guide bedside practice and to highlight research gaps.
