Clinical Trial Summary

To monitor the cardiac post-op patient population with both the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) and the Caretaker monitor, which will seek to validate the Caretaker monitor against continuous CO via the PAC. Up to a third of post-operative cardiac surgery patients develop cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. Secondary analysis will be performed on the collected data to assess the Caretaker monitor's agreement with the PAC during periods of arrhythmia. Successful completion this study will provide clinical validation of the Caretaker monitor in one of the most hemodynamically challenging patient populations (post-cardiac surgery patients in the ICU), including during arrhythmias. The Caretaker monitor is most beneficial as it is non-invasive, is a minimal risk device, and for this protocol will not be utilized to make treatment decisions for the study subject. This device also does not project energy into the subject.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Comparison of hemodynamic readings between the Caretaker and the PAC	To assess the agreement of the Caretaker monitor CO with the thermodilution method using the swan-ganz or pulmonary artery (PAC) catheter in critically ill cardiac surgery post-op ICU patients.	24 hours
Primary	Number of Periods of Carbon monoxide (CO) Instability	The incidence of CO instability after removal of PAC. Comparison of hemodynamic readings after removal of the PAC between the Caretaker and vital signs obtained as standard of care	24 hours
Primary	Time Spent in Periods of CO Instability	The time spent during periods of CO instability after removal of PAC. Comparison of hemodynamic readings after removal of the PAC between the Caretaker and vital signs obtained as standard of care.	24 hours
