Changes in Hemodynamic Values With Posture

Completed

Conditions studied: Blood Pressure

In brief

The study is designed as a prospective observational study. Each participant will have their BP, CVP, PAP, and CO measured by their clinical nurse using indwelling catheters placed for routine patient monitoring. Measurements will be recorded on an hourly basis during the day and for as many days as possible if the required measurements are being made for clinical care. Sixty patients between 18 and 85 years of age will be recruited in HVICU by means of convenience sampling. Data will be analyzed using a test of equivalence on the initial measurements (test of equivalence between two means) and then over time (repeated measurements) with a linear mixed-effects model.
