Brief Summary

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

The goal of this observational study is to study a new method to compute ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) in adult intensive care patients after cardiac surgery. VAC is a metric that describes the interaction between the heart and the arterial system. The new method of measuring VAC uses carotid ultrasound measurements. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Can VAC measured using carotid ultrasound predict the hemodynamic response to drugs?
* What is the concordance of VAC measurements obtained via carotid ultrasound with VAC measurements obtained via the standard, single-beat method? Measurements will be performed in the operating room and at the ICU.

Detailed Description

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

The goal of this prospective observational study is to study ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) measured using carotid ultrasound in adult intensive care patients after cardiac surgery. The objectives of this study are:

* To determine if VAC measured using carotid ultrasound can predict the hemodynamic response to drugs.
* To assess and quantify the concordance of VAC measurements obtained using carotid ultrasound with VAC measurements obtained using the single-beat method.

Measurements will be performed in the operating room and at the ICU.
