Cardiac Output and Preload Assessment Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Evaluation of a New Transpulmonary Thermodilution Method to Assess TPTD, GEDV and EVLW
The primary objective of this study is to obtain the TPTD, GEDV and EVLW measurements from existing indwelling femoral arterial Volume View™ catheter and central venous catheters.
Transpulmonary thermodilution has been proposed to measure transpulmonary thermodilution
cardiac output (TPTD), preload (GEDV, global end diastolic volume) and to quantify pulmonary
edema (EVLW, extravascular lung water). The method currently available on the market is
based on the estimation of time characteristics of the curve (mean transit time and down
slope time).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new transpulmonary thermodilution method to
assess the TPTD, EVLW and GEDV in patients requiring cardiac preload and lung water
assessment. Up to one hundred (100) patients will be enrolled at four (4) study sites, (up
to 25 subjects at each site). Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève, Universität Bonn,
Stadtspital Triemli Zürich, and Universitätsklinikum Aachen will participate in the study.
This is a prospective, observational data collection study.
