Despite advancements in neonatal care, NEC remains a significant concern due to its association with adverse outcomes, including prolonged hospitalisation, the need for surgical intervention, and increased mortality rates. Differential diagnoses include septic ileus, and infection causes such as sepsis, meningitis and pneumonia.

Thus the flutter rate is 270 with 2:1 conduction.

A 2011 meta-analysis in the journal of Academic Emergency Medicine found ESR, CRP, and PCT were not acutely useful in the diagnosis of septic arthritis due to wildly varying sensitivities and specificities between studies. Sepsis PCT may have some utility in guiding posttest probability for sepsis when the diagnosis is unclear.

Ventilator-associated lung injury and inflammation can occur even during short-term mismanagement can worsen patient outcomes. 4 Using factors such as shock, pneumonia, and sepsis this score allows an accurate prediction of developing ARDS. This is a critical error that leads to poorer outcomes for patients in need of critical care.
