Dynamic Estimation of Cardiac Output in the Operating Room

Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Summary

During major surgery, it is recommended to monitor invasive arterial blood pressure and cardiac output (CO) during hemodynamic interventions (fluid challenge or vasopressors). Esophageal Doppler is currently considered as the reference method for monitoring cardiac output in the operating room. The PRAM method (pressure recording analytical method) with the MostCareUp monitor (Vytech, Padova, Italy) and the LTIA method (long time interval analysis) allow cardiac output estimation derived from non-calibrated arterial pressure waveform analysis. Few studies have looked at relative changes in cardiac output during hemodynamic intervention with these two methods. The aim of this study is to compare the relative changes in cardiac output during hemodynamic interventions as measured using PRAM and LTIA methods, compared to esophageal Doppler.
