during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an important element of the procedure is to achieve optimal organ perfusion. For this purpose, high quality chest compressions is one of the basic elements of the procedure. however, similarly as in the case of hypovolemic shock, elevation of the lower limbs may be helpful. The study is a randomized cross-over study and includes the effect of lower limb elevation on hemodynamic parameters in healthy participants.

real-time evaluation of cardiac output parameters using the ICON device
Faculty of Medicine, Lazarski University
Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
RECRUITINGCardiac output - CO
the volume of blood that the heart pumps into blood vessels in one minute. It is the product of the frequency of heart contractions (HR) and stroke volume (SV). The parameter is measured using ICON device
Time frame: during procedure
Stroke Volume - SV
the amount of blood pressed through one of the heart chambers into the appropriate arterial reservoir during a single heart contraction. The parameter is measured using ICON device
Time frame: during procedure
thoracic fluid content - TFC
It is an indicator of total fluid volume, both intracellular and extracellular. The parameter is measured using ICON device
Time frame: during procedure
