Modified cardiac power output as a marker for left ventricular recovery during V-A ECMO

Abstract Dear Editor, The timely liberation of cardiogenic shock (CS) patients from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is crucial to reduce device  complications, although the predictor of weaning is..

Evaluation of Cardiac Output Estimation with Veno-Venous Extracorporeal membrane Oxygenation Support: in vitro study

Abstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is used to treat refractory lung failure, a condition that often results in right ventricular dysfunction, which can exacerbate both morbidity and mortality...

EACTS Expert Consensus Document on protected cardiac surgery: pre-emptive use of temporary mechanical circulatory support in adult cardiac surgery patients…

Abstract Perioperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) remains a significant complication in adult cardiac surgery, contributing to substantial morbidity, prolonged intensive care, and increased mortality. Its incidence is expected to..

Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Better Pressor

Abstract PROFOUND HYPOTENSION AND end-organ hypoperfusion are most often the consequence of inadequate systemic blood flow from primary cardiac failure (cardiogenic shock) or hemorrhage (hemorrhagic shock). However, profound hypotension may..

Prophylactic use of inotropic agents for the prevention of low cardiac output syndrome and mortality in adults undergoing cardiac surgery

Abstract Background As the burden of cardiovascular disease grows, so does the number of cardiac surgeries. Surgery is increasingly performed on older people with comorbidities who are at higher risk..

Occurrence of Low Cardiac Index During Normotensive Periods in Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study Using Continuous Noninvasive Cardiac Output…

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Continuous cardiac output monitoring is not standard practice during cardiac surgery, even though patients are at substantial risk for systemic hypoperfusion. Thus, the frequency of low cardiac output..

Estimation of Cardiac Output Under Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Comparing Thermodilution Methods to 3D Echocardiography

Abstract Thermodilution methods to determine cardiac output (CO) may be affected by veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We compared CO estimations by pulmonary arterial thermodilution using a pulmonary arterial catheter..

Agreement between cardiac output estimation with a wireless, wearable pulse decomposition analysis device and continuous thermodilution in post cardiac surgery…

Abstract Purpose Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA) uses integration of the systolic area of a distally transmitted aortic pulse as well as arterial stiffness estimates to compute cardiac output. We sought..

Which Vasopressors and Inotropes to Use in the Intensive Care Unit

Abstract Introduction Cardiac output (CO) is a key determinant of oxygen delivery. Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) causes organ dysfunction, prolonged hospital stay, and reduces survival in perioperative settings and..

The healthy heart does not control a specific cardiac output: a plea for a new interpretation of normal cardiac function

Abstract The current evidence suggests that the healthy heart does not sense the optimal cardiac output (Q̇) because the different organ systems that influence cardiac function do not interact to..

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Blood Flow and Blood Recirculation Compromise Thermodilution-Based Measurements of Cardiac Output

Abstract The contribution of veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to systemic oxygen delivery is determined by the ratio of total extracorporeal blood flow (Q˙EC) to cardiac output (Q˙). Thermodilution-based..

The hemodynamic effects of warm versus room-temperature crystalloid fluid bolus therapy in post-cardiac surgery patients

Abstract Introduction: The contribution of fluid temperature to the effect of crystalloid fluid bolus therapy (FBT) in post-cardiac surgery patients is unknown. We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of FBT with..

Right atrial pressure and venous return during cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract The relevance of right atrial pressure (RAP) as the backpressure for venous return (QVR) and mean systemic filling pressure as upstream pressure is controversial during dynamic changes of circulation...
