Cerebral and tissue desaturations

Cerebral and tissue desaturations are serious and may lead to complications such as post-operative cognitive dysfunction and increased incidence of stroke. Having a comprehensive picture of oxygen delivery and consumption may allow you to reduce the clinical implications of prolonged desaturations.

Sepsis and shock

Severe sepsis and septic shock are among the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Access to cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) enables early detection and management of sepsis which is critical to improving survival rates and reducing the economic burden of sepsis.

Hypotension

Hypotension is common. Studies show strong associations between intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and myocardial injury, which is the leading cause of post-operative mortality within 30 days after surgery1. Early detection of hypotension by continuous hemodynamic monitoring can reduce a patient’s risk.

FAQs

What is HemoSphere? ›

HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform provides a comprehensive view of hemodynamics and tissue oximetry, giving you data to inform your clinical decisions. From one monitor, you can continuously monitor your patient using both oxygen saturation and hemodynamic parameters to ensure they remain adequately perfused.

What are hemodynamic monitoring devices? ›

Hemodynamic monitoring systems currently exist to guide therapies designed to support the cardiovascular system during times of circulatory instability. Today, these monitors present rather raw data without much intelligent integration.

What is EV1000? ›

The EV1000 clinical platform enables you to choose the parameters needed to monitor your patients and may be used with a variety of Edwards advanced hemodynamic monitoring tools for an integrated Edwards Critical Care System.

What is CCO monitoring? ›

Commercially available continuous cardiac output (CCO) monitoring systems are based on the pulsed warm thermodilution technique. In vitro validation studies have demonstrated that this method provides higher accuracy and greater resistance to thermal noise than standard bolus thermodilution techniques.

What is a Vigileo monitor? ›

A new device, the Vigileo/FloTrac system (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA), allows automatic and continuous monitoring of cardiac output (CO) based on pulse contour analysis and respiratory SVV. The main advantage of this new device is that it is minimally invasive and can be used with any arterial catheter.

What are the 4 parameters of hemodynamic stability? ›

The primary hemodynamic parameters include heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), while the advanced hemodynamic parameters include stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) [14].

How is hemodynamic monitoring measured? ›

Classical hemodynamic monitoring is based on the invasive measurement of systemic, pulmonary arterial and venous pressures, and of cardiac output. Since organ blood flow cannot be directly measured in clinical practice, arterial blood pressure is used, despite limitations, as estimate of adequacy of tissue perfusion.

Is Telemetry the same as cardiac monitoring? ›

Telemetry is continuous cardiac monitoring (CCM), an option introduced to hospitals in the 1950s to monitor the development of an arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, and observe changes in QT intervals in cardiac patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) 1.

How do I set up my EV1000? ›

FloTrac sensor setup on EV1000 monitor - YouTube

How does a FloTrac work? ›

The FloTrac system algorithm is based on the principle that aortic pulse pressure (PP) is proportional to stroke volume (SV) and inversely related to aortic compliance. The algorithm compensates for the effects of compliance on PP based on age, gender, and body surface area (BSA).

How do I use Vigileo monitor? ›

EDWARDS VIGILEO Central Oximetry Catheter - YouTube

What is Swan-Ganz monitoring? ›

Swan-Ganz catheterization (also called right heart catheterization or pulmonary artery catheterization) is the passing of a thin tube (catheter) into the right side of the heart and the arteries leading to the lungs. It is done to monitor the heart's function and blood flow and pressures in and around the heart.

How does CCO catheter work? ›

The CCO catheters used in the current study measure CO by modified thermodilution, whereby a thermal element intermittently warms the blood with a small amount of heat ("hot thermodilution").

How do I calibrate my SvO2? ›

In Vivo Calibration SvO2/ScvO2 Monitor - YouTube

What is the Vigileo used for? ›

The FloTrac®/Vigileo device uses arterial pressure waveform analysis to calculate stroke volume and cardiac output; it does not require calibration against an independent measurement of cardiac output.

How does FloTrac measure cardiac output? ›

Cardiac output is calculated by multiplying heart rate by the stroke volume. The FloTrac algorithm uses these same components but substitutes heart rate with the pulse rate (PR), capturing only truly perfused beats, and multiplies PR by a calculated stroke volume.

What's a normal stroke volume? ›

Stroke volume is the difference between end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes; it is the volume ejected with each heart beat. The normal range is 50 to 100 ml. In the ICU, stroke volume is usually measured by a pulmonary artery catheter and is reported as cardiac output.

What are the types of hemodynamic monitoring? ›

Monitoring techniques
  • ECG monitoring. ...
  • Central venous pressure. ...
  • Kidney function. ...
  • Pulse oximetry. ...
  • Arterial pressure monitoring. ...
  • Pulmonary artery catheter. ...
  • Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

Why is hemodynamic monitoring used? ›

The purpose of hemodynamic monitoring is to identify abnormal physiology and intervene before complications, including organ failure and death, occur. The most common types of invasive hemodynamic monitors are central venous catheters, pulmonary artery catheters, and arterial pulse-wave analysis.

How do you check hemodynamic status? ›

The EKG shows your heart rate and rhythm during the test. Blood Pressure Monitoring: A blood pressure cuff on your arm is used to check your blood pressure at different times during the test. Hemodynamic Echo: You will have an echo before you start your test, after you have rested for 20 minutes.

What is a hemodynamic Tech? ›

The hemodynamic technician is responsible for performing technical and patient care treatment activities under the direct supervision of the medical and clinical staff.
