The Precision of Pulmonary Artery Cardiac Output-measurements in Spontaneously Breathing Patients

Comparison of the Precision of Cardiac Output-measures at Random to Respiration, Synchronised With Expiration and Instructed Slow Exhalation, Obtained by Pulmonal Artery Catheter Thermodilution Technique With Cold Injection

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 18 (actual)
• Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 90 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The intention of this study is to determine whether the precision of the measure of cardiac output can be optimized by conducting the measurement while the participant is instructed to exhale slowly. This will be compared to measurements done at random to respiration and timed with the participant's spontaneous expiration.
