Age-specific hemodynamic profiles during pediatric anesthesia induction: a prospective study using carotid artery auto doppler flow technology.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPerioperative hemodynamic monitoring is essential for maintaining cardiovascular stability, fluid optimization, and complication prevention. Children differ physiologically from adults, with smaller vascular calibers, immature autonomic regulation, and higher resting heart rates. Yet, age-specific descriptive hemodynamic data, especially during preoperative and peri-induction periods, remain lacking, hindering recognition of abnormal changes and tailored management.
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 819 children aged 1–9 years undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. Hemodynamic parameters were measured using the CADFlow® Doppler system at 3, 6, and 9 min post-induction. Key parameters included velocity time integral (VTI), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), pulsatility index (PI), and others. Patients were stratified into four age groups. Non-parametric tests (Friedman, Kruskal–Wallis) with FDR correction assessed temporal and inter-group differences. Inter-parameter correlations were assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation.
resultsHR declined with age and decreased slightly over time in older children. VTI increased with age and rose over time in the younger groups. CO increased with age and showed a small temporal rise only in the 1–2-year group, while PI remained age-dependent but temporally stable. Strong positive correlations were observed between CO, central venous pressure (CVP), and SV, while systemic vascular resistance (SVR) showed strong inverse correlations with these parameters. The 4–6 years group had the highest CO and VTI values, while the youngest group showed the lowest pulsatility indices. Age-specific trends were evident, and most parameters demonstrated significant variation either temporally or between age groups (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study provides the first large-scale, age-stratified descriptive hemodynamic profiles of pediatric anesthesia induction using CADFlow®. These benchmarks enable more precise, age-adapted interpretation of cardiovascular dynamics in children, and offer a foundation for goal-directed fluid therapy and decision support in pediatric anesthetic care.
