U.S., Jan. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT03394768) titled 'Comparison Between NICOM-Cheetah and Flotrac-Vigileo for Cardiac Output Monitoring.' on Jan. 3, 2018.
Brief Summary: Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is an important tool in critically ill patients with haemodynamic instability. Traditionally, this has been accomplished using the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC). However, its use has been associated with various complications such as pneumothorax, arrhythmia, infection, pulmonary valve injury and embolism. This has led to the development of various minimally invasive cardiac output monitoring devices such as the oesophageal Doppler, PiCCO(R), NiCCO(R) and FloTrac(R). These devices howe...
