Outcomes of pregnancies at risk for hypertensive complications managed using impedance cardiography.
We assessed the effect of antihypertensive therapy guided by impedance cardiography on maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancies at risk for hypertensive complications. We performed a retrospective review of the outcomes of 318 singleton pregnancies with chronic hypertension or prior preterm delivery due to preeclampsia whose antihypertensive therapy was guided by impedance cardiography. Hemod...
متن کاملImpedance Cardiography Accurately
Objectives: After validation of impedance cardiography (ICG) in healthy children, this same device was tested in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) to validate its capability of measuring cardiac output (Q) in this population. Design: Comparative study of ICG vs the indirect Fick (C02) method. Setting: Tertiary care children's teaching hospital. Patients: Twenty-one CF children with mean FEVX o...
متن کاملImpedance Cardiography to Guide Antihypertensive Treatment in a Patient with Difficult-to-Treat Hypertension
In this case report, we describe the use of impedance cardiography (ICG) to guide antihypertensive therapy in a patient with difficult-to-treat hypertension illustrating the potential benefit of use in clinical practice. Through the identification of our patient’s hemodynamic phenotype, low cardiac index and elevated systemic vascular resistance index, and medication changes directed toward the...
متن کاملA case of using impedance cardiography-guided CVVH by critical care nephrology in the management of acute decompensated heart failure
Ultrafiltration by continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) is a well-established therapy for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Aggressive fluid removal, however, may worsen the symptoms or even inflict de novo organ dysfunctions especially in the hemodynamically unstable patients. We described the incorporation of CVVH and impedance cardiography (ICG) in the management of an ADHF pa...
متن کاملElectrical velocimetry for measuring cardiac output in children with congenital heart disease.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the agreement of cardiac output measurements obtained by electrical velocimetry (CO(EV)) and those that derived from the direct Fick-oxygen principle (CO(F)) in infants and children with congenital heart defects. METHODS Simultaneous measurements of CO(EV) and CO(F) were compared in 32 paediatric patients, aged 11 days to 17.8 yr, undergoin...
