Brief Summary  

Accurate hemodynamic assessments are necessary to guide therapy (including fluids, vasoactives, inotropes) in pediatric septic shock. Traditional clinical monitoring is not accurate enough for hemodynamic categorization to guide management. Invasive cardiac output monitoring with pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is the gold standard, however it is associated with risks. Continuous monitoring allowing for real-time therapy guidance helps in optimizing fluid administration and/or drug titrations for time-sensitive, goal directed resuscitation which improves outcomes in pediatric septic shock. Electrocardiometry has been validated for non-invasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring in children and adults. However, whether it will provide better guidance regarding management of pediatric septic shock compared to standard care clinical monitoring alone is not known, and whether this translates into better important patient centred outcomes like reduced mortality and morbidity is not known, hence the need for this study.
