“…Although the latter can more clearly show the structure of the heart and more precisely measure heart function, its operation is more complicated, and for MODS patients especially, the risk posed by TEE examination is significantly increased. Therefore, in clinical practice, doctors often choose TTE to examine patients (10). The results of this study support ICU doctors performing TTE examinations on patients.…”

“…During their stay in the ICU, patients with MODS receive a wide array of blood tests, examinations, and monitoring that provide doctors with the required information for treatment (4,5). As a simple and noninvasive examination method, ultrasound is widely used in clinical practice (6,7), with cardiac ultrasound being particularly valuable for examining patients with heart disease or severe disease (8)(9)(10). Cardiac ultrasound is commonly used in clinical practice through two main approaches: transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (10)(11)(12).…”

Background: For patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), timely assessment of the condition and real-time adjustment of the treatment plan are of critical importance. To this end, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is widely used in clinical practice, but whether TTE can improve the short-term prognosis of MODS patients is currently unclear.Methods: We extracted data of patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database and included cases according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was the mortality within 28 days after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and multivariate regression analysis was conducted to infer the risk factors associated death within 28 days after ICU admission. Double robust analysis was conducted to investigate the correlation between TTE and the endpoint. A gradient-boosted model (GBM) was constructed to calculate the propensity score (PS) of patients received TTE, so as to reduce the difference of variates between these two groups.Results: A total of 13,844 MODS cases were included and were divided into a TTE group and a non-TTE group. There were 5,022 cases (36.28%) in the TTE group, 2,416 (48.10%) of whom were female; and 8,822 (63.72%) in the non-TTE group, 4,129 of whom (46.80%) were female. The covariates that contributed significantly to PS included chronic heart failure (CHF), creatine kinase (CK), troponin, partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2 ), and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores. Double robust analysis showed that within 28 days after ICU admission, the TTE group had lower risk of death when compared with the non-TTE group. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) value of TTE for 28 days death was 0.73 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.65-0.82; P<0.001]. The other 3 models had similar results, suggesting that conduct TTE for patients with MODS in ICU was associated with lower risk of 28 days mortality.Conclusions: TTE can reduce the mortality of MODS patients in the ICU.

“…The color Doppler mode can show internal blood flow within the lesion and any changes in hemodynamics. Although transesophageal echocardiography is indispensable for particular applications, TTE examinations are inexpensive, noninvasive, and relatively convenient for patients ( 8 ). In this study, surgeons decided whether additional TEE and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations were needed based on clinical experience.…”

Background: Space-occupying cardiac lesions are uncommon but fatal. Echocardiography can identify diseases quickly in the clinic. This study reviews the clinical data of patients with space-occupying cardiac lesions in the past 10 years and analyzes their echocardiographic features, pathological diagnosis, and prognosis.Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 412 patients admitted to Affiliated Drum Tower
