Clinical Evaluation of Cardiac Output Estimation Based on Pulse Wave Transit Time
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pulmonary Artery Catheter (PAC), Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitor (ECOM), and 1 other intervention for Myocardial Infarction and Myocardial Ischemia. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The specific aim of this study is to assess whether a device approved by the FDA to measure pulse oximetry can accurately estimate cardiac output.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A catheter is inserted into the pulmonary artery, through the internal jugular vein; cardiac output is indicated by the speed that a temperature gradient dissipates.
An FDA-approved medical device is inserted into the patient's throat; cardiac output is calculated by measuring how electricity moves through the chest.
Sensors are placed on the arm, finger and leg to calculate Pulse Wave Transit Time (PWTT); the time it takes for the pulse of the heartbeat to travel through the body.
