Accuracy and Reliability of Non-invasive Cardiac Output: The Future in Cardiology?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new generation of non-invasive cardiac output monitors provides an alternative to using conventional invasive methods such as thermodilution and direct Fick. The Bioz.com measures changes in thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) of the descending aorta. The Innocor uses the principle of inert gas rebreathing. Simultaneous TEB and thermodilution cardiac output measurements were taken from 27 patients undergoing right heart catheterisation. Linear regression analysis showed good correlation between thermodilution and TEB about the line y=0.85x + 0.63 (r=0.91, P<0.0001). Preliminary data from the Innocor suggest comparable accuracy, continuous monitoring, portability, ease of use and low cost for a variety of applications in cardiology.

متن کاملThe reliability of noninvasive cardiac output measurement using the inert gas rebreathing method in patients with advanced heart failure.
BACKGROUND Impaired cardiac output (CO) is a key element of heart failure (HF). So far, there has been no simple, reliable, inexpensive and non-invasive CO measurement method feasible for clinical practice. Not a single diagnostic test has been elaborated to diagnose and monitor HF. The aim of the study was the evaluation of the reliability of a new, non-invasive CO measurement device utilizing...

Abstract Background: Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a simple and inexpensive technique for non-invasive and continues measurement of stroke volume. Due to non-invasive nature, ICG is becoming increasingly used in research and clinical applications. With regard to lack of domestic impedance cardiograph and limited similar imported products in the country, an inexpensive and portable protot...
متن کاملA System for Continuous Estimating and Monitoring Cardiac Output via Arterial Waveform Analysis
Background: Cardiac output (CO) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. CO is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. Hence, measuring CO has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. Sev...
