Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to validate cardiac output and stroke volume derived from Vitalstream against Gold Standard measurements obtained using thermodilution. The Vitalstream device is a continuous noninvasive physiological monitor (Caretaker Medical LLC, Charlottesville, Virginia, further referred to as "CTM") provides heart rate, continuous noninvasive blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate, stroke volume and cardiac output.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The device is currently undergoing IEC 60601 Medical Safety Standards testing and has already passed all FDA-required emission and discharge testing. The Vitalstream tracks central aortic BP via pulse analysis, specifically Pulse Decomposition Analysis ("PDA"), of the peripheral pulse at a distal site, typically finger. The device uses a low pressure \[30-40 mmHg\], pump-inflated, finger cuff that pneumatically couples arterial pulsations via a pressure line to a custom-designed piezo-electric pressure sensor for detection and analysis. Physiological data are communicated wirelessly to a tablet-based user interface via Bluetooth. The Vitalstream monitor is most beneficial as it is non-invasive, is a minimal risk device, and for this protocol will not be utilized to make treatment decisions for the study subject.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

cardiac patient population through the major part of their continuum of care, with monitoring starting at the start of the subjects holding room pre-operative preparation and continuing through surgery to recovery in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU), where monitoring will continue until the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is removed
Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vitalstream

Device placed on the subject preoperatively in the holding room and continued postoperatively into the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vitalstream

Intervention Type DEVICE

The device will be placed on the subject and monitoring started in the holding room on the morning of surgery. Monitoring will continue postoperatively until the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is removed (Standard of Care) or discharged, or at study team discretion. At Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admittance and again 3 hours later a straight leg raise will be done to monitor for changes in hemodynamics.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adult post-cardiac surgery needing cardiopulmonary bypass and use of the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) as standard of care, (s/p coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve, heart transplant, major aortic \& other vascular surgery, and a combination of CABG and valve procedures)
* patients (age \> 18) admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a pulmonary artery catheter (continuous or intermittent thermodilution cardiac output) and an arterial catheter for Blood Pressure (BP) monitoring (standard of care)

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients without an appropriately positioned or functioning (PAC) pulmonary artery catheter admitted to the cardiac surgery ICU after surgery. Patients on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support
