Endotracheal cardiac output monitor.
BACKGROUND The endotracheal cardiac output monitor (ECOM) is a new device that uses an endotracheal tube with multiple electrodes to measure cardiac output (CO). It measures the changes in electrical impedance caused by pulsatile blood flow in the aorta. The system was tested for safety and efficacy in 10 swine. METHODS Swine (60-80 kg) were chronically instrumented with a transit time flow p...
متن کاملMeasuring cardiac output: intermittent bolus thermodilution method.
cialist in the cardiac care unit and cardiac observation unit at UCLA Medical Center and is an assistant professor of nursing at the UCLA School of Nursing, Los Angeles, Calif. by a computer and converted into a measurement of cardiac output. Cardiac output is inversely proportional to the area under the curve. The normal cardiac output curve has a rapid smooth upstroke and a gradual downstroke...
متن کاملMeasurement of cardiac output.
Float catheterisation of the pulmonary artery was described in The Lancet by Dr R D Bradley (as he then was) in 1964 at a time when invasive circulatory monitoring was almost non-existent outside cardiac surgical units, and ‘intensive care’ was a term barely in use. Cardiac catheterisation was laboratory based and required radiological control: management of acute circulatory crises relied on c...
متن کامل[Comparison of cardiac output measurement in critical patients using transesophageal Doppler or thermodilution: a preliminary report].
BACKGROUND Cardiac output can be measured non invasively by transesophageal Doppler. This is an alternative to measure it by thermodilution with a catheter in the pulmonary artery. AIM To compare both methods of cardiac output measurement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Simultaneous measurement of cardiac output by transesophageal Doppler and thermodilution with a catheter in the pulmonary artery in ...
متن کاملMeasurement of cardiac output: a comparison between transpulmonary thermodilution and uncalibrated pulse contour analysis.
BACKGROUND Recently, continuous monitoring of cardiac output (CO) based on pulse contour analysis (Vigileo) has been introduced into practice. In this clinical study, we evaluated the accuracy of this system by comparing it with the transpulmonary thermodilution technique (TPID) in septic patients. METHODS We studied 24 mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock (16 male, 8 female, ag...
