The goal of this observational study was to better understand the impact of increased plasma volume on later exercise in hypoxia. Investigators examined young, healthy, males who regularly participated in aerobic exercise. Investigators first measured participant's response to exercise in hypoxia (simulated ~7,500 feet above sea level). The investigators then had participants either 1) undergo 1 bout of high intensity interval exercise or 2) undergo 1 bout of moderate, continuous exercise. 48 hours after the exercise, participants were again examined in hypoxia.
The purpose of this research is to better understand the use of heart ultrasounds to estimate heart function.
The objective of this study is to investigate the hemodynamic effects of two strategies of alveolar recruitment maneuver in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery in the operating room
Background It is known from previous research that in patients with complete AV (atrioventricular) block and pacemaker stimulation stroke volume and cardiac output are higher with AV-synchronous than with AV-dyssynchronous pacing. However, the extent to which patients profited from AV-synchronous stimulation varied substantially. Aim of the study Aim of this study is to systematically analyze the impact of diastolic function and other echo parameters on the difference of stroke volumes/cardiac output between AV-synchronous and AV-dyssynchronous pacing modes. Methods Patients fulfilling the entry criteria will be enrolled (two-chamber pacemaker of any vendor eligible) in this monocentric, prospective, interventional study. Baseline data will be collected with a standardized questionnaire. During an echo examination, parameters of diastolic, systolic and atrial function will be assessed. Then, the stroke volume/cardiac output will be measured twice in each patient, once with AV-synchronous and once with AV-dyssynchronous pacing. Therefore, each patient will represent their own control. It will be randomized (coin tossing) which stimulation mode is first and which is second (sonographer and patient will be blinded). Descriptive statistics will be applied and regression models will be fitted to explore the data.
This is a pilot study to investigate whether patients at advanced age are fluid responders via a reversible fluid challenge, the passive leg raise test. This will be measured with a non-invasive cardiac output monitor, the LiDCO (LiDCO Hemodynamic monitoring) .
Main hypothesis: there is no difference between stroke volume measurements recorded by a new noninvasive finger cuff system (NexFin) and invasive hemodynamic monitoring systems as Picco2-system, FloTrac and transesophageal echocardiography
