Declarations
:
: This was a prospective observational study on current practice, and all collected data were the standard monitoring and intervention data used in critical care. All monitoring and intervention attitudes have been extensively described in the literature, and patients were assessed and treated routinely. Data were anonymously collected, and all information allowing patient identification was not collected. Patient anonymity was maintained both during data processing and publishing. A patient number was used in all echocardiograms recorded for later review by an expert. According to local legislation, consent from the patient or next of kin to record data and to draw blood was obtained before study enrolment, and the Ethics Committees approved the study of Hospital Garcia de Orta and NOVA Medical School (CE nº 44-2020-CEFCM).
: All the patients (or next of kin) signed a consent form for personal data collection and scientific use, such as publication. Nevertheless, all information that eventually can identify the patient is anonymized or not published.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
