Estimation of Cardiac Output from Precordial Dilution Curves in Patients with Cardiopulmonary Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Comparison of flow rates measured from precordial dilution curves, simultaneous direct arterial dilution curves, and nearly simultaneous Fick determinations in 29 patients failed to indicate any difference in precision. Successive precordial determinations of flow rate were adequately reproducible. It is concluded that the precordial dilution method gives flow values comparable to those obtained by other, more laborious methods.

Serial Cardiac Output and Blood Volume Studies Following Cardiac Valve
DETERMINATION of the cardiac output during the early postoperative period following open heart surgery has been difficult due to technical problems in adapting the Fick and indicator-dilution methods to the bedside. The recent availability of a radioisotopedilution method using precordial detection provides a simple and reliable means of measuring blood flow in the postoperative setting. In add...
متن کاملValue of Continuous Photoelectric Recording of Dye Curves in the Estimation of Cardiac Output
In order to test photoelectric recording of dye curves, simultaneous determinations of cardiac output were made in 48 patients with heart disease with the Fick and dye-dilution technics. The dye curves were recorded with a Colson densitometer following either intrathoracic or antecubital injection of dye. Both Evans blue and indoeyanine green dyes were employed. Satisfactory agreement was noted...
متن کاملThe Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Survival in Patients Who Need Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) after Cardiac Surgery
Introduction: Insome cases, assist devices are required to ensure an adequate cardiac output after cardiac surgery. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used cardiac assist device, which provides first-line support for patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine factors affecting the mortality rate of patients receiving IABP. Materials & Methods: In thi...
