Comparison of Cardiac Output With LiDCO Rapid and TEE Against Thermodilution Technique in Cardiac Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Low Cardiac Output

In brief

Measurement of the cardiac output is one of the important hemodynamic monitoring tools in cardiac surgery. It helps determine the type of medications needed to maintain optimal hemodynamic status in the entire perioperative period. Thermodilution method using pulmonary artery catheter is considered has the gold standard for the measurement of cardiac output. Investigators would like to compare the most popular minimally-invasive devices used to measure cardiac output using arterial waveform: LiDCO Rapid and TEE with the thermodilution method at various phases of the cardiac surgery.
