Maternal Hemodynamic Monitoring in Women Undergoing Cesarean Section by Use of NICaS Cardiac Impedance
In Brief
An observational study evaluating NICaS Bio Impedance for Hemodynamics. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this study we would like to monitor cardiac output by the use of NICAS bioimpedance in women undergoing cesarean section delivery. This study is a purely observational study, it will not have any clinical intervention nor will it interfere with standard cesarean delivery protocols in any way. This study's primary objective is to evaluate how spinal and general anesthesia influences cardiac output during cesarean section deliveries. Secondary endpoints is whether the hemodynamic changes as measured in cardiac output correlate with women's pain, measured by a visual analogue scale(VAS) from o-10. (0=representing no pain at all, 10= worse pain imaginable)
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Hemodynamic monitoring will be carried out using non invasive NICaS cardiac impedance by the use of two electrodes stickers which are pasted on the wrists for about 6 minutes. Monitoring will be done with women lying down or sitting up half an hour preoperatively (in the woman's surgery waiting room) intraoperatively, and postoperatively in the PACU. Preoperative data will be compared to intraoperative and postoperative data, and will be analyzed in order to evaluate the dynamic cardiac output changes in women undergoing cesarean sections.
