Estimation of Cardiac Output in Neonatal ICU Using an Ultrasound Dilution Technique

Transonic Systems Inc.7 enrolled

Overview

Presently there is no apparatus, clinically available, for routine determination of cardiac output (CO) in children. The goal of this research is to develop new technology that will help determine CO in neonates.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions
