Real-time Continuous Cardiac Output Measurements

Overview

Study to assess the feasibility of real-time automatic cardiac output measurements using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)

Rationale: Study to assess the feasibility of real-time automatic cardiac output measurements using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) Objective: To assess the correlation and feasibility of real-time automatic continuous cardiac output measurements using transthoracic ultrasound (TTE) in adult ICU-patients in comparison to Flotrac measurements Study design: prospective, feasibility study Study population: Adult Intensive Care patients ( \> 18 years) Intervention (if applicable): Consecutive adult patients on the ICU in which the there is an indication for continuous cardiac output measurements. Main study parameters/endpoints: * Percentage of patients in which continuous cardiac output can be measured using TTE * Correlation between continuous TTE and Flotrac measurements
