Abstract
E-point septal separation (EPSS) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) are M-mode measures of left and right ventricular systolic function, with limited pediatric point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) research. We conducted a cross-sectional study in a pediatric emergency department, enrolling 12-17-year-olds without cardiopulmonary complaints. Exclusion criteria included abnormal vital signs, fever, altered mental status, or psychiatric illness. POCUS faculty performed the measurements, while blinded to pediatric echocardiography reference values. Data was analyzed using unpaired t-tests and Pearson's correlation. Correlations with age, height, weight, body mass index, and heart rate were examined. Twenty subjects were enrolled. The mean EPSS was 2.5 mm (SD 1.9 mm), and the mean TAPSE was 2.6 cm (SD 0.4 cm), aligning with pediatric echocardiography reference values. No significant correlations were found between EPSS or TAPSE and anthropometric data.
e点间隔分离（EPSS）和三尖瓣环平面收缩偏移（TAPSE）是左心室和右心室收缩功能的m模式测量，儿科点超声（POCUS）研究有限。我们在儿科急诊科进行了一项横断面研究，招募了12-17岁无心肺疾患的儿童。排除标准包括异常生命体征、发热、精神状态改变或精神疾病。POCUS教员在对儿童超声心动图参考值不知情的情况下进行了测量。数据分析采用非配对t检验和Pearson相关。研究了年龄、身高、体重、身体质量指数和心率的相关性。共招募了20名受试者。平均EPSS为2.5 mm (SD 1.9 mm)，平均TAPSE为2.6 cm (SD 0.4 cm)，与儿童超声心动图参考值一致。EPSS或TAPSE与人体测量数据无显著相关性。
