Clinical evaluation of USCOM ultrasonic cardiac output monitor in cardiac surgical patients in intensive care unit.
BACKGROUND The USCOM ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM Pty Ltd, Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia) is a non-invasive device that determines cardiac output by continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the USCOM device compared with the thermodilution technique in intensive care patients who had just undergone cardiac surgery. METHODS We conduc...
متن کاملClinical monitoring of cardiac output assessed by transoesophageal echocardiography in anaesthetised dogs: a comparison with the thermodilution technique
BACKGROUND Cardiac output (CO) is an important haemodynamic parameter to monitor in patients during surgery. However, the majority of the techniques for measuring CO have a limited application in veterinary practice due to their invasive approach and associated complexity and risks. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a technique used to monitor cardiac function in human patients during ...

cialist in the cardiac care unit and cardiac observation unit at UCLA Medical Center and is an assistant professor of nursing at the UCLA School of Nursing, Los Angeles, Calif. by a computer and converted into a measurement of cardiac output. Cardiac output is inversely proportional to the area under the curve. The normal cardiac output curve has a rapid smooth upstroke and a gradual downstroke...
متن کاملComparison of uncalibrated arterial waveform analysis in cardiac surgery patients with thermodilution cardiac output measurements
INTRODUCTION Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is indicated only in selected patients. In cardiac surgical patients, perioperative haemodynamic management is often guided by CO measurement by pulmonary artery catheterisation (COPAC). Alternative strategies of CO determination have become increasingly accepted in clinical practice because the benefit of guiding therapy by data derived from the PAC ...
متن کاملApplications of minimally invasive cardiac output monitors
Because of the increasing age of the population, critical care and emergency medicine physicians have seen an increased number of critically ill patients over the last decade. Moreover, the trend of hospital closures in the United States t imposes a burden of increased efficiency. Hence, the identification of devices that facilitate accurate but rapid assessments of hemodynamic parameters witho...
