Pulse contour analysis: Is it able to reliably detect changes in cardiac output in the haemodynamically unstable patient?
نویسنده
چکیده
Three pulse contour systems for monitoring cardiac output - LiDCO Plus™, PiCCO Plus™ and FloTrac™ - were compared in postcardiac surgery patients. None of the three methods demonstrated good trending ability according to concordance analysis. Pulse contour systems remain unreliable in the haemodynamically unstable patient.

Uncalibrated pulse power analysis fails to reliably measure cardiac output in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
INTRODUCTION Uncalibrated arterial pulse power analysis has been recently introduced for continuous monitoring of cardiac index (CI). The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of arterial pulse power analysis with intermittent transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS Forty-two patients scheduled for elective coronary surgery we...

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...

Uncalibrated semi-invasive continous monitoring of cardiac index (CI) has recently gained increasing interest. The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of CI determination based on arterial waveform analysis with transpulmonary thermodilution. Fifty patients scheduled for elective coronary surgery were studied after induction of anaesthesia and before and after cardiopulmonary b...

Backgraound: It is recommended to use BIS (BISpectral) to determine anesthesia levels. Currently, due to low capacity in Iran, anesthesiologists use cardiac indices, such as pulse rates and blood pressure to detect anesthesia levels. This study was designed to assess association of cardiac parameters with anesthesia levels measured by brain function. Methods: In this descriptive study, 14 pati...
متن کاملComparison of pulse contour analysis by Pulsioflex and Vigileo to measure and track changes of cardiac output in critically ill patients.
BACKGROUND We compared the new Pulsioflex and the Vigileo devices to measure cardiac index (CI) in critically ill patients. Both devices measure CI by pulse-contour analysis. The Pulsioflex device also allows an auto-calibration (not based on thermodilution). METHODS Patients were included if we administered fluids (20 patients), reduced (20 patients), or increased (20 patients) the dose of n...
