This study investigated the effect of myocardial dysfunction on the cerebral hemodynamics in term infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We evaluated myocardial systolic and diastolic functional parameters and cerebral hemodynamic parameters in 40 term newborn infants with HIE and 30 healthy controls during the first 14 days of life using two-dimensional/pulsed Doppler ultrasound. ...

The poster presents the design and development of a signal database used for the determination of hemodynamic parameters. The signals from the database are used for the evaluation of new algorithms determining hemodynamic parameters. The signal database consists of synchronously obtained independent signals – the records of oscillometric pulsations, the records of electrocardiograms (ECG) and t...

A novel hemodynamic model has been recently introduced, which provides analytical relationships between the changes in cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood °ow (CBF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and associated changes in the tissue concentrations of oxyand deoxy-hemoglobin ( O and D) measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) [S. Fantini, Neuroimage 85, 202–221 (2...

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 patient...
