Evaluation of the Argos System to Estimate Cardiac Output
Sponsor: Bicetre Hospital
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the reliability of the Argos system to track changes in cardiac output in critically ill patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does cardiac output changes induced by fluid administration or changes in norepinephrine dosage can be tracked by the Argos system, compared to transpulmonary thermodilution device.
