Comparison of Cardiac Output Measured by Ultrasound Dilution Method and Pulmonary Artery Thermodilution Technique

NCT ID: NCT01616017

Last Updated: 2016-05-27

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Total Enrollment: 39 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2012-05-31
• Study Completion Date: 2013-05-31

Brief Summary

Cardiac output (CO) is an important hemodynamic variable in the management of critically ill patients. The pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) requires invasive techniques with potential complications and there is increasing interest in less invasive methods of measuring CO. This study is designed to compare CO values from PAC thermodilution (COTD) and ultrasound dilution (COUD).

Conditions

Cardiac Disease; Post Surgery Patients
