CLINICAL 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
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section.

متن کاملApplication of cerebral oximetry for a parturient with Takayasu's arteritis undergoing cesarean section -a case report-
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the aorta. Because TA sometimes involves cerebral arteries, anesthetic debates focus on cerebral monitoring. There is limited evidence as to which cerebral monitoring method is most adequate. Furthermore, there is insufficient evidence to determine which anesthetic technique is better for TA parturients. We experienced the ca...
متن کاملThe effect of aminophylline on prevention of post-spinal anesthesia headache in patients undergoing elective cesarean section: a randomized clinical trial
Background: The post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication in spinal anesthesia. Headache may occure seven days after dural puncture. The headache may be worsened in sitting position and be better in supine position. PDPH is common in younger and tall people. The incidence rate of PDPH related to the size of spinal needle and the number of try and decrease with small, cutting ...
متن کاملComparison between Flotrac-Vigileo and Bioreactance, a totally noninvasive method for cardiac output monitoring
INTRODUCTION This study was designed to compare the clinical acceptability of two cardiac output (CO) monitoring systems: a pulse wave contour-based system (FloTrac-Vigileo) and a bioreactance-based system (NICOM), using continuous thermodilution (PAC-CCO) as a reference method. METHODS Consecutive patients, requiring PAC-CCO monitoring following cardiac surgery, were also monitored by the tw...
متن کامل`Evaluation of the analgesic efficacy of melatonin in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia: A prospective randomized double-blind study
Melatonin has been suggested as a new natural pain killer in inflammatory pain and during surgical procedures. We designed this randomized double-blind controlled study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and also optimal preemptive dose of melatonin in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.One hundred twenty patients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia ...
