Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitor in Children

Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiac Output, Low, Pediatric

In brief

This study will be the first of several studies that establish the value of measuring fluid responsiveness in children undergoing general anesthesia. The first study in this series will determine whether fluid responsiveness, as measured with the NICOM cardiac output monitor in normal children before and after passive leg raising, predicts changes in stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure during the early stages of anesthesia. A second study will determine if early treatment of the fluid responsiveness will prevent the decline in blood pressure that accompanies general anesthesia. If the NICOM monitor permits accurate prediction in normal patients, future studies of pediatric patients undergoing major surgery would be indicated. The investigators would like to add 25 additional patients who will have the NICOM assessments performed in the pre operative area - Pre anesthesia. General anesthesia may alter the results of the NICOM assessments. The investigators will use these 25 subjects to serve as a comparison/control group.
