Early interventional therapy for acute massive pulmonary embolism guided by minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring in the early catheter-based intervention for acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS A total of 40 cases with acute massive PE were randomized into experimental and control group with 20 cases in each group. In the experimental group, the hemodynamics was monitored via Vi...
متن کاملCLINICAL SCIENCE Clinical evaluation of the flotrac/vigileo system for continuous cardiac output monitoring in patients undergoing regional anesthesia for elective cesarean section: a pilot study
BACKGROUND: Spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery may cause severe maternal hypotension and a decrease in cardiac output. Compared to assessment of cardiac output via a pulmonary artery catheter, the FloTrac/Vigileo system may offer a less invasive technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiac output and other hemodynamic measurements made using the FloTrac/Vigileo system in patien...
متن کاملUncalibrated arterial pressure waveform analysis for less-invasive cardiac output determination in obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Uncalibrated arterial waveform analysis (FloTrac/Vigileo) uses standard arterial access to determine cardiac output (CO). Calculations are based on arterial waveform characteristics in combination with patient characteristic data to estimate individual arterial compliance. It has been shown that obesity is associated with altered arterial compliance independently of other risk factor...
متن کاملEvaluation of a minimally invasive non-calibrated pulse contour cardiac output monitor (FloTrac/Vigileo) in anaesthetized dogs.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of a new cardiac output monitor (FloTrac/Vigileo), originally designed for humans, in dogs. This pulse contour cardiac output monitoring system cannot be calibrated and measures cardiac output (Q̇t) from a standard arterial catheter. STUDY DESIGN Prospective experimental trial. ANIMALS Eight adult Beagle dogs weighing 13.1 (9.8-17.1) kg [median (range)]. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of an uncalibrated arterial pulse contour cardiac output monitoring system in cirrhotic patients undergoing liver surgery.
BACKGROUND The pulmonary artery catheter is invasive and may cause serious complications. A safe method of cardiac output (CO) measurement is needed. We have assessed the accuracy and reliability of a recently marketed self-calibrating arterial pulse contour CO monitoring system (FloTrac/Vigileo) in end-stage liver failure patients undergoing liver transplant. The pattern of alterations known a...
