Clinical Trial: Performance of CO2-derived Parameters in Predicting Low Cardiac Output Syndrome

U.S., Aug. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07770386) titled 'Performance of CO2-derived Parameters in Predicting Low Cardiac Output Syndrome' on Aug. 12.

Brief Summary: In congenital cardiac intensive care, low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) after surgery is defined by a decrease in cardiac output due to cardiac dysfunction. This syndrome is responsible for postoperative mortality and morbidity, as well as prolonged hospitalization.

CO2-derived parameters are increasingly used to identify low cardiac output status by the PCO2 gap, or anaerobic metabolism by the Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2 ratio, particularly in septic shock in adults, with or without hypoxemia. The thresholds proposed as pathological val...
