NCT ID: NCT01678066 Not yet recruiting - General Anesthesia Clinical Trials

A Prospective Study to Bilaterally Compare a Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitor

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Study hypothesis: The Cardiotronic ICON non-invasive cardiac output monitor gives accurate information when placed on a patient's Right or Left side. Summary: To simultaneously compare physiologic data collected from two non-invasive cardiac output monitors placed bilaterally on pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia. The FDA approved Cardiotronic ICON non-invasive cardiac output monitor has been validated by the manufacturer in pediatric and adult patients with leads placed on the left side. However, sometimes the surgical site and/or patient position precludes placement of the monitor leads on the left side. In such situations it would be useful to know whether placement of the monitor's leads on a patient's right side gives accurate cardiac output data. We will prospectively collect, and compare, simultaneous physiologic data for all enrolled children using two monitors, one on the patient's right side and one on the patient's left side.

NCT ID: NCT01168557 Completed - Cardiac Output Clinical Trials

Stress Echo and Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) Pilot Study

Start date: July 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a technique based on the injection of small currents and voltage measurements using electrodes on the skin surface generating cross-sectional images representing impedance change in a slice of the thorax.It is a radiation free, non- invasive and portable lung imaging technique. Impedance changes in lung ventilation as well as in lung perfusion can be shown. To investigate lung perfusion by EIT measurements, cardiac output measured by routinely undergone stress echocardiography at rest and stress are compared to parameters measured by EIT.

NCT ID: NCT01139294 Completed - Dehydration Clinical Trials

Descriptive Study of Cardiac Output During Rehydration With Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase in Pediatrics

Hylenex
Start date: February 2010
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to non-invasively study the reflective changes in cardiac output as response to fluid therapy in the pediatric moderate hypovolemia/dehydrated pediatric patients using sub-q rehydration using Hylenex augmented subcutaneous infusion of fluids and electrolytes compared to intravenous methods.

NCT ID: NCT01117883 Completed - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

Sternal Wall Pressure in the Cath Lab

Start date: April 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This protocol is a prospective interventional pilot study at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to determine whether or not two increments of sternal pressure known to occur during "leaning" in CPR affects hemodynamic function, coronary perfusion pressures, and intrathoracic pressure in order to inform the resuscitation community on reasonable target pressures to avoid "leaning" on the chest during pediatric CPR.

NCT ID: NCT01103908 Terminated - Cardiac Output Clinical Trials

Cardiac Output Measurement at the Conclusion of Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Start date: April 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Cardiac output, the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute, will be measured in pediatric patients undergoing surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cardiac output will be measured after cardiopulmonary bypass using a device that employs ultrasound dilution technology. At times, cardiac output will be measured during a procedure called modified ultrafiltration (MUF). The ultrasound dilution cardiac output measurements will be validated or compared with cardiac output measurements made using other FDA approved techniques and devices.

NCT ID: NCT01103895 Terminated - Cardiac Output Clinical Trials

Measurement of Cardiac Output Before and After Cardiopulmonary Bypass.

Start date: July 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Cardiac output, the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute, will be measured in adults undergoing surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. Cardiac output will be measured before and after cardiopulmonary bypass using a device that employs ultrasound dilution technology. The ultrasound dilution cardiac output measurements will be validated or compared with cardiac output measurements made using thermodilution, which is the current "gold standard."

NCT ID: NCT01030445 Completed - Blood Pressure Clinical Trials

Cardiac Function as Measured by Non-invasive Electrical Velocimetry Cardiac Monitor in Hospitalized Children

Start date: December 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

To assess whether a non-invasive cardiac output monitor can follow heart function in children during treatments in the hospital. To establish a normal reference for children who are well and awake.

NCT ID: NCT01001533 Completed - Sedation Clinical Trials

Assess the Ability of Electrical Cardiometry to Trend Hemodynamic Variables During Dexmedetomidine Sedation

DEX-CO
Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The aim of the study is to investigate the use of a new FDA-approved non-invasive bio-impedance cardiac monitor, ICON, to detect hemodynamic effects during sedation in children undergoing radiology procedures. The purpose of the study is to determine the ability of the ICON monitor to identify the anticipated and documented hemodynamic changes in children which occur in response to Dexmedetomidine sedation. The investigators postulate that if the ICON device can trend hemodynamic changes, if any, during dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation in children the investigators can delineate changes in cardiac output, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance associated with observed changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

NCT ID: NCT00996190 Completed - Hypotension Clinical Trials

Best Regimen for Phenylephrine Administration During Cesarean Section

Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

During Cesarean delivery, phenylephrine is used to maintain the patient's blood pressure. Low blood pressure is the most common side effect of the spinal medication used to anesthetize the patient prior to the start of surgery. This low blood pressure can also trigger unpleasant side effects such as nausea, vomiting and low Apgar scores for the baby. Currently there are 2 methods of phenylephrine administration during Cesarean section. One method is by intermittent bolus and the other is by continuous infusion. It is ideal to have a regimen for phenylephrine administration that maintains blood pressure without compromising cardiac output. In this study, cardiac output and blood pressure will be measured by transthoracic bioimpedance, which is a new technique of noninvasive continuous cardiac output monitoring. The hypothesis of this study is that the continuous infusion of phenylephrine will be equally effective in maintaining blood pressure as compared to the intermittent injection, and will induce less hemodynamic changes.

NCT ID: NCT00924482 Completed - Cardiac Output Clinical Trials

Impedance Cardiography: Clinical Evaluation of Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitor (ECOM)

ECOM
Start date: January 2007
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

1. Compare measurements of cardiac output derived from electrical measurements from electrodes on an endotracheal tube (ECOM or Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitor) to those made from a pulmonary artery thermodilution catheter. 2. Establish the safety and efficacy of the ECOM system.
