Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects will have a CVC inserted for continuous monitoring of their CVP and Scv02. Early structured treatment will be provided based on subjects' CVP, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and Scv02 measurements.
Routine equipment will be used to monitor subjects' blood pressure and oxygen levels. Early structured treatment is based on the subjects' systolic blood pressure and the study doctors' judgment of fluid status and perfusion status.
Attending physicians will provide routine care to subjects. Study measurements and treatments will be based on the physicians'/sites' standard practices.
