Summary

Non-invasively neonatal cardiac output can be measured by multiple methods, but the gold standard still remains conventional echocardiography. It is accurate, but needs a long training for new users to assess cardiac function. Continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound monitor USCOM is a relatively new monitor which can perform faster and less complex cardiac function measurement, also it is easier for the operator to get trained. The aim of the study is to assess the level of agreement between cardiac output measured with conventional echocardiography and with USCOM, to present normal ranges for neonates of different gestational age and to look for early signs of hemodynamic changes during sepsis.

Conditions

• Pre-Term
• Neonatal Infection

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ultrasound Cardiac Output Monitor (USCOM 1A)	doplerometry with USCOM and echocardiograph is made for assessing central blood flow and spectroscopy with NONIN- for the blood flow in individual peripheral organs (brain and kidney)
