The goal of this observational study is to demonstrate the presence of a correlation between echographic measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) normalized for the pediatric population and right atrial pressures (RAP) measured by central venous catheter (CVC) so as to create a predictive model of the value of right atrial pressures using echocardiographic parameters in the pediatric population. This study is single-center longitudinal and involves retrospective and prospective data collection.
