Fluid overload (FO) in critically ill children correlates with higher morbidity and mortality rates. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is commonly employed to manage FO. In adults, both FO and CRRT adversely affect myocardial function. It remains unclear if children experience similar cardiovascular effects.
