Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective : This study aimed to investigate whether changes in carotid artery corrected flow time (ΔFTc bolus ) and carotid artery peak flow velocity respiratory variation (Δ V peak bolus ) induced by the fluid challenge could reliably predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with a tidal volume < 8 mL/kg Predicted Body Weight while preserving spontaneous breathing. Methods : Carotid artery corrected flow time, Δ V peak, and hemodynamic data were measured before and after administration of 250 mL crystalloids. Fluid responsiveness was defined as a 10% or more increase in stroke volume index as assessed by noninvasive cardiac output monitoring after the fluid challenge. Results : A total of 43 patients with acute circulatory failure were enrolled in this study. Forty-three patients underwent a total of 60 fluid challenges. The ΔFTc bolus and Δ V peak bolus showed a significant difference between the fluid responsiveness positive group (n = 35) and the fluid responsiveness negative group (n = 25). Spearman correlation test showed that ΔFTc bolus and Δ V peak bolus with the relative increase in stroke volume index after fluid expansion ( r = 0.5296, P < 0.0001; r = 0.3175, P = 0.0135). Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that ΔFTc bolus and Δ V peak bolus were significantly correlated with fluid responsiveness in patients with acute circulatory failure. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of ΔFTc bolus and Δ V peak bolus for predicting fluid responsiveness were 0.935 and 0.750, respectively. The optimal cutoff values of ΔFTc bolus and Δ V peak bolus were 0.725 (sensitivity = 97.1%, specificity = 84%) and 4.21% (sensitivity = 65.7%, specificity = 80%), respectively. Conclusion : In mechanically ventilated patients with a tidal volume < 8 mL/kg while preserving spontaneous breathing, ΔFTc bolus and Δ V peak bolus could predict fluid responsiveness. The predictive performance of ΔFTc bolus was superior to Δ V peak bolus .

Abstract
Cardiac output (CO) is a key parameter in diagnostics and therapy of heart failure (HF). The thermodilution method (TD) as gold standard for CO determination is an invasive procedure with corresponding risks. As an alternative, thoracic bioimpedance (TBI) has gained popularity for CO estimation as it is non-invasive. However, systolic heart failure (HF) itself might worsen its validity. The present study validated TBI against TD. In patients with and without systolic HF (LVEF ≤ 50% or > 50% and NT-pro-BNP < 125 pg/ml, respectively) right heart catheterization including TD was performed. TBI (Task Force Monitor©, CNSystems, Graz, Austria) was conducted semi-simultaneously. 14 patients with and 17 patients without systolic HF were prospectively enrolled in this study. In all participants, TBI was obtainable. Bland-Altman analysis indicated a mean bias of 0.3 L/min (limits of agreement ± 2.0 L/min, percentage error or PE 43.3%) for CO and a bias of -7.3 ml (limits of agreement ± 34 ml) for cardiac stroke volume (SV). PE was markedly higher in patients with compared to patients without systolic HF (54% vs. 35% for CO). Underlying systolic HF substantially decreases the validity of TBI for estimation of CO and SV. In patients with systolic HF, TBI clearly lacks diagnostic accuracy and cannot be recommended for point-of-care decision making. Depending on the definition of an acceptable PE, TBI may be considered sufficient when systolic HF is absent.Trial registration number: DRKS00018964 (German Clinical Trial Register, retrospectively registered).

Abstract
Background: An ideal CO monitor should be noninvasive, cost effective, reproducible, reliable during various physiological states. Limited literature is available regarding the noninvasive CO monitoring in open chest surgeries. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the CO measurement by Regional Impedance Cardiography (RIC) and Thermodilution (TD) method in patients undergoing off pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB). Settings and Design: We conducted a prospective observational comparative study of CO measurement by the noninvasive RIC method using the NICaS Hemodynamic Navigator system and the gold standard TD method using pulmonary artery catheter in patients undergoing OPCAB. A total of 150 data pair from the two CO monitoring techniques were taken from 15 patients between 40-70 years at various predefined time intervals of the surgery. Patients and Methods: We have tried to find out the accuracy, precision and cost effectiveness of the newer RIC technique. Mean CO, bias and precision were compared for each pair i.e.TD-CO and RIC-CO as recommended by Bland and Altman. The Sensitivity and specificity of cutoff value to predict change in TD-CO was used to create a Receiver operating characteristic or ROC curve. Results: Mean TD-CO values were around 4.52 ± 1.09 L/min, while mean RIC- CO values were around 4.77± 1.84 L/min. The difference in CO change was found to be statistically not significant (p value 0.667). The bias was small (-0.25). The Bland Altman plot revealed a mean difference of -0.25 litres. The RIC method had a sensitivity of 55.56 % and specificity of 33.33 % in predicting 15% change in CO of TD method and the total diagnostic accuracy was 46.67%. Conclusion: A fair correlation was found between the two techniques. The RIC method may be considered as a promising noninvasive, potentially low cost alternative to the TD technique of hemodynamic measurement.

Abstract
Recent advances in hemodynamic monitoring have seen the advent of non-invasive methods which offer ease of application and improve patient comfort. Bioimpedance Analysis or BIA is one of the currently employed non-invasive techniques for hemodynamic monitoring. Impedance Cardiography (ICG), one of the implementations of BIA, is widely used as a non-invasive procedure for estimating hemodynamic parameters such as stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO). Even though BIA is not a new diagnostic technique, it has failed to gain consensus as a reliable measure of hemodynamic parameters. Several devices have emerged for estimating CO using ICG which are based on evolving methodologies and techniques to calculate SV. However, the calculations are generally dependent on the electrode configurations (whole body, segmental or localised) as well as the accuracy of different techniques in tracking blood flow changes. Blood volume changes, concentration of red blood cells, pulsatile velocity profile and ambient temperature contribute to the overall conductivity of blood and hence its impedance response during flow. There is a growing interest in investigating limbs for localised BIA to estimate hemodynamic parameters such as pulse wave velocity. As such, this paper summarises the current state of hemodynamic monitoring through BIA in terms of different configurations and devices in the market. The conductivity of blood flow has been emphasized with contributions from both volume and velocity changes during flow. Recommendations for using BIA in hemodynamic monitoring have been mentioned highlighting the suitable range of frequencies (1 kHz-1 MHz) as well as safety considerations for a BIA setup. Finally, current challenges in using BIA such as geometry assumption and inaccuracies have been discussed while mentioning potential advantages of a multi-frequency analysis to cover all the major contributors to blood's impedance response during flow.

Abstract
The pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) and its role in the practice of modern medicine remains to be questioned and has experienced a substantial decline in its use in the most recent decades. The complications associated to its use, the lack of consistency of the interpretation provided by the PAC among clinicians, the development of new hemodynamic methods, and the deleterious cost profile associated to the PAC are some of the reasons behind the decrease in its use. Since its introduction into clinical practice, the PAC and the data obtained from its use became paramount in the management of critically ill patients as well as for the high-risk/invasive procedures. Initially, many clinicians were under the impression that regardless the clinical setting, acquiring the information provided by the PAC justified its use, until a growing body of evidence demonstrated its lack of mortality and morbidity improvement, as well as several reports of the presence of difficulties—some of them fatal—during its insertion. The authors present an updated review discussing the futility of the PAC in current clinical practice, the complications associated to its insertion, the lack of mortality benefit in critically ill patients and cardiac surgery, as well as present alternative hemodynamic methods to the PAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adequate assessment of fluid responsiveness in shock necessitates correct interpretation of hemodynamic changes induced by preload challenge. This study evaluates the accuracy of point-of-care Doppler ultrasound assessment of the change in carotid corrected flow time induced by a passive leg raise maneuver as a predictor of fluid responsiveness. Noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM, Cheetah Medical, Newton Center, MA) system based on a bioreactance method was used. DESIGN Prospective, noninterventional study. SETTING ICU at a large academic center. PATIENTS Patients with new, undifferentiated shock, and vasopressor requirements despite fluid resuscitation were included. Patients with significant cardiac disease and conditions that precluded adequate passive leg raising were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Carotid corrected flow time was measured via ultrasound before and after a passive leg raise maneuver. Predicted fluid responsiveness was defined as greater than 10% increase in stroke volume on noninvasive cardiac output monitoring following passive leg raise. Images and measurements were reanalyzed by a second, blinded physician. The accuracy of change in carotid corrected flow time to predict fluid responsiveness was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Seventy-seven subjects were enrolled with 54 (70.1%) classified as fluid responders by noninvasive cardiac output monitoring. The average change in carotid corrected flow time after passive leg raise for fluid responders was 14.1 ± 18.7 ms versus -4.0 ± 8 ms for nonresponders (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that change in carotid corrected flow time is an accurate predictor of fluid responsiveness status (area under the curve, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.80-0.96) and a 7 ms increase in carotid corrected flow time post passive leg raise was shown to have a 97% positive predictive value and 82% accuracy in detecting fluid responsiveness using noninvasive cardiac output monitoring as a reference standard. Mechanical ventilation, respiratory rate, and high positive end-expiratory pressure had no significant impact on test performance. Post hoc blinded evaluation of bedside acquired measurements demonstrated agreement between evaluators. CONCLUSIONS Change in carotid corrected flow time can predict fluid responsiveness status after a passive leg raise maneuver. Using point-of-care ultrasound to assess change in carotid corrected flow time is an acceptable and reproducible method for noninvasive identification of fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients with undifferentiated shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There are substantial potential benefits to noninvasive cardiac monitoring methods, such as electrical cardiometry (EC), over more invasive methods, including significantly reduced risk of complications, lower up-front and operational costs, ease of use, and continuous monitoring. To take advantage of these technologies, clinical equivalence to currently established methods must be determined. The authors sought to determine if the noninvasive measurement of cardiac index (CI) by EC was clinically equivalent to thermodilution (TD) in adult patients with aortic stenosis (AS). DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study comparing measurement devices in a single patient group. SETTING Single-center, university teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study included 52 adult patients with aortic stenosis undergoing right heart catheterization. INTERVENTIONS Cardiac output (CO) was measured concurrently using EC with an ICON device and TD in 52 participants with AS. CI values were to determine the accuracy and precision of EC in reference to TD. Percentage error (PE) was used to assess their clinical equivalence. The participants were divided further into groups (normal and overweight/obese) based on body mass index and the analysis was repeated. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS CO measurement made by EC in adult patients with obesity or overweight was reduced significantly relative to TD. This was not observed in normal-weight adult AS patients. EC provided clinically equivalent measurements to TD for measuring CI in normal-weight adult AS patients (PE = 25.0%), but not for those adult AS patients with overweight or obesity (PE = 42.3%). CONCLUSION Overall, the ICON device produced lower CO and index measurements relative to TD in adult patients with AS. Overweight and obesity also significantly affected the relative precision and accuracy of the ICON electrical cardiometric device to measure CI in these patients.

Abstract
Critically ill patients require close hemodynamic monitoring to titrate treatment on a regular basis. It allows administering fluid with parsimony and adjusting inotropes and vasoactive drugs when necessary. Although invasive monitoring is considered as the reference method, non-invasive monitoring presents the obvious advantage of being associated with fewer complications, at the expanse of accuracy, precision, and step-response change. A great many methods and devices are now used over the world, and this article focuses on several of them, providing with a brief review of related underlying physical principles and validation articles analysis. Reviewed methods include electrical bioimpedance and bioreactance, respiratory-derived cardiac output (CO) monitoring technique, pulse wave transit time, ultrasound CO monitoring, multimodal algorithmic estimation, and inductance thoracocardiography. Quality criteria with which devices were reviewed included: accuracy (closeness of agreement between a measurement value and a true value of the measured), precision (closeness of agreement between replicate measurements on the same or similar objects under specified conditions), and step response change (delay between physiological change and its indication). Our conclusion is that the offer of non-invasive monitoring has improved in the past few years, even though further developments are needed to provide clinicians with sufficiently accurate devices for routine use, as alternative to invasive monitoring devices.

Abstract
Introduction Evaluation of accuracy, precision, and trending ability of cardiac index (CI) measurements using the Aesculon™ bioimpedance electrical cardiometry (Aesc) compared to the continuous pulmonary artery thermodilution catheter (PAC) technique before, during, and after cardiac surgery. Methods A prospective observational study with fifty patients with ASA 3-4. At six time points (T), measurements of CI simultaneously by continuous cardiac output pulmonary thermodilution and thoracic bioimpedance and standard hemodynamics were performed. Analysis was performed using Bland-Altman, four-quadrant plot, and polar plot methodology. Results CI obtained with pulmonary artery thermodilution and thoracic bioimpedance ranged from 1.00 to 6.75 L min−1 and 0.93 to 7.25 L min−1, respectively. Bland-Altman analysis showed a bias between CIBIO and CIPAC of 0.52 liters min−1 m−2, with LOA of [−2.2; 1.1] liters min−1 m−2. Percentage error between the two techniques was above 30% at every time point. Polar plot methodology and 4-quadrant analysis showed poor trending ability. Skin incision had no effect on the results. Conclusion CI obtained by continuous PAC and CI obtained by Aesculon bioimpedance are not interchangeable in cardiac surgical patients. No effects of skin incision were found. International clinical trial registration number is ISRCTN26732484.

Abstract
The physiologic response of the human body to different environments is a complex phenomenon to ensure survival. Immersion and compressed gas diving, together, trigger a set of responses. Monitoring those responses in real time may increase our understanding of them and help us to develop safety procedures and equipment. This review outlines diving physiology and diseases and identifies physiological parameters worthy of monitoring. Subsequently, we have investigated technological approaches matched to those in order to evaluated their capability for underwater application. We focused on wearable biomedical monitoring technologies, or those which could be transformed to wearables. We have also reviewed current safety devices, including dive computers and their underlying decompression models and algorithms. The review outlines the necessity for biomedical monitoring in scuba diving and should encourage research and development of new methods to increase diving safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the hemodynamic parameters analyzed in bioimpedance cardiography during maximal exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes differing in insulin resistance. METHODS The study group consisted of 40 men with type 1 diabetes. Tissue sensitivity to insulin was assessed on the basis of the glucose disposal rate (GDR) analyzed during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Patients were divided into groups with GDR <4.5 mg/kg/min (G1 group-lower insulin sensitivity) and GDR ≥4.5 mg/kg/min (G2 group-higher insulin sensitivity). During the exercise test, the heart rate, systolic volume, cardiac output, cardiac index were measured by the impedance meter (PhysioFlow). RESULTS Compared with the G2 group, the G1 group had a lower cardiac output (CO): during exercise 8.6 (IQR 7.7-10.0) versus 12.8 (IQR 10.8-13.7) L/min; P < 0.0001, at the maximal effort 13.1 (IQR 12.2-16.7) versus 18.6 (IQR 16.9-20.2) L/min; P = 0.001, and during observation after exercise 8.4 (IQR 6.3-9.6) versus 11.9 (IQR 10.1-13.1) L/min; P < 0.0001. We noticed a positive correlation of GDR and cardiac output: during the exercise test (r = 0.63, P = 0.0002), at the maximal effort (Rs 0.56, P = 0.001), and during observation after the exercise test (r = 0.72, P < 0.0001). In multivariate logistic regression, cardiac output during exercise and during observation was associated with high GDR, regardless of the age and duration of diabetes [OR: 1.98 (95% CI 1.10-3.56), P = 0.02 and OR: 1.91 (95% CI 1.05-3.48), P = 0.03; respectively]. CONCLUSION In nonobese subjects with type 1 diabetes, with good metabolic control, insulin resistance is associated with cardiac hemodynamic parameters assessed during and after exercise. The higher the insulin resistance the lower the cardiac output during maximal exercise in men with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Operative hysteroscopy is accompanied by the use of distention medium. Its absorption can lead to volume overload and hemodynamic disturbances that can lead to serious complications. We investigated the impact of the type of anesthesia on decreasing these complications with the use of noninvasive thoracic bioimpedance. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, blind study. METHOD Sixty women, with American Society of Anesthesiologists classifications I-III, undergoing operative hysteroscopy were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Spinal anesthesia group received intrathecal 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg and 25 μg fentanyl; the other group received general anesthesia with intravenous analgesia, propofol, and rocuronium followed by endotracheal intubation. Total glycine absorption, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, thoracic fluid content (noninvasive thoracic bioimpedance), and serum sodium were measured. RESULTS Women in the general anesthesia group showed more significant changes in the total glycine absorption, thoracic fluid content, and hemodynamic parameters. Serum sodium decreased significantly postoperatively in the general anesthesia group. CONCLUSION Spinal anesthesia is associated with less glycine absorption, less thoracic fluid load, better control of hemodynamics, and better patient satisfaction in operative hysteroscopy.

Abstract
Introduction Delayed graft function (DGF) remains a significant and detrimental postoperative phenomenon following living-related renal allograft transplantation, with a published incidence of up to 15%. Early therapeutic vasodilatory interventions have been shown to improve DGF, and modifications to immunosuppressive regimens may subsequently lessen its impact. This pilot study assesses the potential applicability of perioperative non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM), transit-time flow monitoring (TTFM) of the transplant renal artery and pre-/perioperative thromboelastography (TEG) in the early prediction of DGF and perioperative complications. Methods Ten consecutive living-related renal allograft recipients were studied. Non-invasive cardiac output monitoring commenced immediately following induction of anaesthesia and was maintained throughout the perioperative period. Doppler-based TTFM was performed during natural haemostatic pauses in the transplant surgery: immediately following graft reperfusion and following ureteric implantation. Central venous blood sampling for TEG was performed following induction of anaesthesia and during abdominal closure. Results A single incidence of DGF was seen within the studied cohort and one intra-operative (thrombotic) complication noted. NICOM confirmed a predictable trend of increased cardiac index (CI) following allograft reperfusion (mean CI - clamped: 3.17 ± 0.29 L/min/m2, post-reperfusion: 3.50 ± 0.35 L/min/m2; P < 0.05) mediated by a significant reduction in total peripheral resistance. Reduced TTFM at the point of allograft reperfusion (227 ml/min c.f. mean; 411 ml/min (95% CI: 358 to 465)) was identified in a subject who experienced intra-operative transplant renal artery thrombosis. TEG data exhibited significant reductions in clot lysis (LY30 (%): pre-op: 1.0 (0.29 to 1.71), post reperfusion 0.33 (0.15 to 0.80); P = 0.02) and a trend towards increased clot initiation following allograft reperfusion. Conclusions Reduced renal arterial blood flow (falling without the 95% CI of the mean), was able to accurately predict anastomotic complications within this pilot study. TEG data suggest the emergence of a prothrombotic state, of uncertain clinical significance, following allograft reperfusion. Abrogation of characteristic haemodynamic trends, as determined by NICOM, following allograft reperfusion may permit prediction of individuals at risk of DGF. The findings of this pilot study mandate a larger definitive trial to determine the clinical applications and predictive value of these technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this paper a new non-invasive, operator-free, continuous ventricular stroke volume monitoring device (Hemodynamic Cardiac Profiler, HCP) is presented, that measures the average stroke volume (SV) for each period of 20 seconds, as well as ventricular volume-time curves for each cardiac cycle, using a new electric method (Ventricular Field Recognition) with six independent electrode pairs distributed over the frontal thoracic skin. In contrast to existing non-invasive electric methods, our method does not use the algorithms of impedance or bioreactance cardiography. Instead, our method is based on specific 2D spatial patterns on the thoracic skin, representing the distribution, over the thorax, of changes in the applied current field caused by cardiac volume changes during the cardiac cycle. Since total heart volume variation during the cardiac cycle is a poor indicator for ventricular stroke volume, our HCP separates atrial filling effects from ventricular filling effects, and retrieves the volume changes of only the ventricles. METHODS ex-vivo experiments on a post-mortem human heart have been performed to measure the effects of increasing the blood volume inside the ventricles in isolation, leaving the atrial volume invariant (which can not be done in-vivo). These effects have been measured as a specific 2D pattern of voltage changes on the thoracic skin. Furthermore, a working prototype of the HCP has been developed that uses these ex-vivo results in an algorithm to decompose voltage changes, that were measured in-vivo by the HCP on the thoracic skin of a human volunteer, into an atrial component and a ventricular component, in almost real-time (with a delay of maximally 39 seconds). The HCP prototype has been tested in-vivo on 7 human volunteers, using G-suit inflation and deflation to provoke stroke volume changes, and LVot Doppler as a reference technique. RESULTS The ex-vivo measurements showed that ventricular filling caused a pattern over the thorax quite distinct from that of atrial filling. The in-vivo tests of the HCP with LVot Doppler resulted in a Pearson's correlation of R = 0.892, and Bland-Altman plotting of SV yielded a mean bias of -1.6 ml and 2SD =14.8 ml. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that the HCP was able to track the changes in ventricular stroke volume reliably. Furthermore, the HCP produced ventricular volume-time curves that were consistent with the literature, and may be a diagnostic tool as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The utility of endotracheal bioimpedance cardiography (ECOM) has been scarcely reported. We tested the hypothesis that it could be an alternative to pulse contour analysis for cardiac index measurement and prediction in fluid responsiveness. METHODS Twenty-five consecutive adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit following conventional cardiac surgery were prospectively included and investigated at baseline, during passive leg raising, and after fluid challenge. Comparative cardiac index data points were collected from pulse contour analysis (CIPC) and ECOM (CIECOM). Correlations were determined by linear regression. Bland-Altman analysis was used to compare the bias, precision, and limits of agreement. Percentage error was calculated. Changes in CIPC (ΔCIPC) and CIECOM (ΔCIECOM) during passive leg raising were collected to assess their discrimination in predicting fluid responsiveness. RESULTS A significant relationship was found between CIPC and CIECOM (r = 0.45; P < 0.001). Bias, precision, and limits of agreement were 0.44 L.min-1.m-2 (95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.56), 0.59 L.min-1.m-2, and -0.73 to 1.62 L.min-1.m-2, respectively. Percentage error was 45%. A significant relationship was found between percent changes in CIPC and CIECOM after fluid challenge (r = 0.42; P = 0.035). Areas under the ROC curves for ΔCIPC and ΔCIECOM to predict fluid responsiveness were 0.72 (95% confidence interval, 0.5-0.88) and 0.81 (95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.94), respectively. CONCLUSIONS ECOM is not interchangeable with pulse contour analysis but seems consistent to monitor cardiac index continuously and could help to predict fluid responsiveness by using passive leg raising.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare the hemodynamic changes that occur during laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases with those occurring during laparoscopic ultrasound hepatic examination alone. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING Operating rooms of a university-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS 40 ASA physical status 2 and 3 patients with liver metastases. INTERVENTIONS 20 patients underwent laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors following laparoscopic ultrasound examination, and 20 had laparoscopic ultrasound examination alone. The anesthetic technique was standardized. MEASUREMENTS The primary endpoint of the study was the number of episodes of mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 70 mmHg. Secondary endpoints were significant differences between the groups in MAP, heart rate, cardiac index, ejection fraction (EF; both measured with thoracic bioimpedance), calculated systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), and central venous pressure. MAIN RESULTS The number of episodes of MAP < 70 mmHg did not differ between groups: there were 9 episodes in the ultrasound alone group and 7 in the radiofrequency group (P = 0.668). Cardiac index, EF, and SVRI were similar between groups. Central venous pressure was slightly higher in the radiofrequency group [11.99 (10.8-13.2) mmHg vs. 10.3 (9.2-11.4) mmHg, P = 0.04]. CONCLUSIONS Hemodynamic profiles were similar when comparing laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases with laparoscopic ultrasound hepatic examination alone.

Abstract
Cardiac output (CO) measurement has long been considered essential to the assessment and guidance of therapeutic decisions in critically ill patients and for patients undergoing certain high-risk surgeries. Despite controversies, complications and inherent errors in measurement, pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) continuous and intermittent bolus techniques of CO measurement continue to be the gold standard. Newer techniques provide less invasive alternatives; however, currently available monitors are unable to provide central circulation pressures or true mixed venous saturations. Esophageal Doppler and pulse contour monitors can predict fluid responsiveness and have been shown to decrease postoperative morbidity. Many minimally invasive techniques continue to suffer from decreased accuracy and reliability under periods of hemodynamic instability, and so few have reached the level of interchangeability with the PAC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare cardiac output (CO) and blood volumes measured by COstatus(®) (Transonic Systems Inc., NY, USA) versus PiCCO (Philips IntelliVue MP40 with PiCCO-technology module M3012A#10, Netherlands) in adult ICU patients. METHODS This was a prospective single-center study. Each of the 30 patients studied received a 5-Fr Pulsiocath femoral arterial and a standard central venous catheter. Twenty ml of iced 5% dextrose solution was injected for PiCCO measurements. For COstatus measurements, an extracorporeal arteriovenous loop, with two sensors placed on it, was connected between the Pulsiocath femoral arterial and central venous catheters. Blood was circulated through this loop at 12 ml/min for 5-8 min using a pump. Twenty ml of warm saline was injected into the venous side for measurements. For each method, three injections were averaged for comparison. RESULTS A good agreement for measured CO (range 3.65-16.3 l/min) with a percentage error of 20% was observed, with r = 0.95, bias = -0.037 l/min. PiCCO's global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) was 2.5 times larger than the analogous COstatus's total end-diastolic volume (TEDV) [TEDV = 0.28 × GEDV + 176 ml]. PiCCO's intrathoracic blood volume (ITBV) was larger than the analogous COstatus's central blood volume (CBV) [CBV = 0.73 × (ITBV) +78 ml]. CONCLUSIONS CO measured by COstatus was found to be equivalent and hence interchangeable with PiCCO in this study population. COstatus blood volumes were found to be within the expected physiological range whilst PiCCO blood volumes were significantly higher, which was also observed in other studies. Future studies using 3D echo/MRI are required to validate these blood volumes.

Abstract
With advancing age and increased co-morbidities in patients, the need for monitoring devices during the perioperative period that allow clinicians to track physiologic variables, such as cardiac output (CO), fluid responsiveness and tissue perfusion, is increasing. Until recently, the only tool available to anesthesiologists to monitor CO was either a pulmonary artery catheter or transesophageal echocardiograph. These devices have their limitations and potential for morbidity. Several new devices (including esophageal Doppler monitors, pulse contour analysis, indicator dilution, thoracic bioimpedance and partial non-rebreathing systems) have recently been marketed which have the ability to monitor CO noninvasively and, in some cases, assess the patient's ability to respond to fluid challenges. In this review, we will describe these new devices including the technology, studies on their efficacy and the limitations of their use.

Abstract
Although cardiac output (CO) monitoring is usually only used in intensive care units (ICUs) and operating rooms, there is increasing evidence that CO should be determined and optimized as early as possible, even before admission to the ICU, in the care of hemodynamically compromised patients. A variety of different minimally or noninvasive CO determination techniques have been developed, but not all of them are suitable for early hemodynamic monitoring outside the ICU. In this review, the different available methods for CO monitoring are presented and their potential for early hemodynamic assessment is discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Several less invasive cardiac output monitoring techniques are now commercially available and have the potential to replace the pulmonary artery catheter under certain clinical circumstances. The aim of this review is to give a synopsis of the currently available cardiac output measurement methods. This information should help in selecting the appropriate technique in a particular clinical setting. RECENT FINDINGS An overview is given of the currently available techniques for cardiac output monitoring. Recent validation studies demonstrate that pulse wave analysis may be used reliably as an alternative to the pulmonary artery catheter in different clinical settings. The use of transesophageal echocardiography and Doppler measurements is limited due to high operator dependency, the partial carbon dioxide rebreathing technique should be applied in a precisely defined clinical setting to mechanically ventilated patients only, and pulsed dye densitometry as well as the bioimpedance technique are currently primarily applied in an investigational setting. SUMMARY Less invasive cardiac output monitoring techniques may replace the pulmonary artery catheter in different clinical settings considering the specific properties of these techniques. The pulmonary artery catheter, however, may still be recommended for cardiac output measurement in specific clinical situations when monitoring of pulmonary artery pressures is desirable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The purpose was to study the agreement between cardiac output measurements with electrical velocimetry vs. intermittent thermodilution before and after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. METHODS Cardiac output was measured simultaneously with electrical velocimetry and intermittent thermodilution before and immediately after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and in the intensive care unit. Measurements were performed in three different body positions. The results were analysed according to Bland and Altman. RESULTS The mean bias of all 150 paired measurements in 16 patients was 0.21 +/- 0.78 L min(-1), and the mean error was 40%. Before skin incision the mean bias was 0.04 +/- 0.41 L min(-1), and the mean error was 25%. After skin closure the mean bias was 0.57 +/- 0.92 L min(-1), and the mean error was 42%. In the intensive care unit the mean bias was 0.26 +/- 0.68 L min(-1), and the mean error was 32%. CONCLUSIONS The agreement between cardiac output measurements with electrical velocimetry and intermittent thermodilution was clinically acceptable only before skin incision in coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The mean error was unacceptably high immediately after skin closure and was at a borderline level in the intensive care unit. Thus, the overall accuracy of cardiac output measurements with the electrical velocimetry technique during coronary artery bypass graft surgery is not clinically unacceptable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The accuracy of bioimpedance stroke volume index (SVI) is questionable as studies report inconsistent results. It remains unclear whether the algorithms alone are responsible for these findings. We analyzed the raw impedance data with three algorithms and compared bioimpedance SVI to transpulmonary thermodilution (SVI(TD)). DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective observational clinical study in a university hospital. PATIENTS Twenty adult patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). INTERVENTIONS SVI(TD) and bioimpedance parameters were simultaneously obtained before surgery (t1), after bypass (t2), after sternal closure (t3), at the intensive care unit (t4), at normothermia (t5), after extubation (t6) and before discharge (t7). Bioimpedance data were analyzed off-line using cylinder (Kubicek: SVI(K); Wang: SVI(W)) and truncated cone based algorithms (Sramek-Bernstein: SVI(SB)). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Bias and precision between the SVI(TD) and SVI(K), SVI(SB), and SVI(W) was 1.0+/-10.8, 9.8+/-11.4, and -15.7+/-8.2 ml/m2 respectively, while the mean error was abundantly above 30%. Analysis of data per time moment resulted in a mean error above 30%, except for SVI(W) at t2 (28%). CONCLUSIONS Estimation of SVI by cylinder or truncated cone based algorithms is not reliable for clinical decision making in patients undergoing CABG surgery. A more robust approach for estimating bioimpedance based SVI may exclude inconsistencies in the underlying algorithms in existing thoracic bioimpedance cardiography devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac output and the cardiac index (CI) are not routinely monitored during major abdominal surgery for economic as well as medical reasons. This practice, however, might be changed by the application of newer non-invasive technologies like the partial CO(2) rebreathing method based on the inverse Fick's principle. In this prospective randomized study we investigated the impact of a non-invasive monitoring of CI on the incidence of hemodynamic instability and interventions by the attending anesthesiologist during major abdominal surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Additionally to routine hemodynamic monitoring we measured CI using the partial CO(2) rebreathing method in 28 patients (9 female, 19 male) undergoing major abdominal surgery. In group I the anesthesiologists were aware of the results of the extended hemodynamic monitoring and in group II the attending anesthesiologist was blinded to the information obtained by these measurements of CI. RESULTS Groups did not differ with regard to the baseline hemodynamic parameters. We obtained 923 measurements in both groups and 95 situations of hemodynamic instability (CI<2.5 l/minxm(2)) were detected in group I compared to 147 situations in group II (p<0.05). There were significantly more hemodynamic interventions in group I than in group II (p<0.0001). The cardiac index remained higher in group I in comparison to group II (p<0.0001). Measurement of CI was the only method to detect situations of hemodynamic instability in our setting. CONCLUSION The incidence of hemodynamic instability was significantly reduced during major abdominal surgery when anesthesiologists were aware of the measurement results of extended hemodynamic monitoring.

Abstract
Noninvasive cardiac output (CO) measurement can be useful in many clinical settings where invasive monitoring is not desired. Bioimpedance (intrabeat measurement of changes in transthoracic voltage amplitude in response to an injected high-frequency current) has been explored for this purpose but is limited in some clinical settings because of inherently low signal-to-noise ratio. Since changes in fluid content also induce changes in thoracic capacitive and inductive properties, we tested whether a noninvasive CO measurement could be obtained through measurement of the relative phase shift of an injected current (i.e., bioreactance). We constructed a prototype device that applies a 75-kHz current and determines the relative phase shift (dΦ/d t) of the recorded transthoracic voltage. CO was related to the product of peak dΦ/d t, heart rate, and ventricular ejection time. The preclinical study was done in nine open-chest pigs put on right heart bypass so that CO could be varied at known values. This was followed by a feasibility study in 27 postoperative patients who had a Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC). The measurements of noninvasive CO measurement and cardiopulmonary bypass pump correlated to each other ( r = 0.84) despite the large variation in CO and temperatures. Similarly, in patients, mean CO values were 5.18 and 5.17 l/min as measured by SGC and the noninvasive CO measurement system, respectively, and were highly correlated over the range of values studied ( r = 0.90). Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate the feasibility of using blood flow-related phase shifts of transthoracic electric signals to perform noninvasive continuous CO monitoring.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In an effort to provide high-quality intensive care without increasing morbidity and possibly decreasing mortality, noninvasive means of monitoring hemodynamics have been developed. Recently, commercially available monitoring techniques have been afforded the intensivist for just this purpose. This review will discuss the various means available, their limitations and recent literature describing their clinical use in comparison with pulmonary artery catheterization. RECENT FINDINGS Each method has been tested clinically, some more so than others. The general consensus is that each method correlates well with pulmonary artery catheterization. Each method, however, has limitations. Users must be familiar with the limitations and aware of which method is most appropriate for their patients. In general, the derived data provided by the noninvasive methods parallel those of pulmonary artery catheterization, with the exclusion of some commonly used variables (i.e. mixed venous oxygen, wedge pressure). Some novel variables derived from the new techniques can provide analogous information to that gathered from the pulmonary artery catheter. SUMMARY In summary, the methods commercially available today to measure hemodynamics in a noninvasive fashion offer good correlation to the traditional data derived from pulmonary artery catheterization. Pulmonary artery catheterization is considered, by most, to be the standard by which to compare other methods and will most likely remain so. This is due to a long history of reliance and clinical familiarity with its use. Additional clinical studies will need to be performed in a heterogeneous population of patients (trauma, burn, sepsis etc.) to enable better determination of reliability and limitations in various clinical scenarios. Overcoming the clinician's personal preference to rely on traditional pressure-derived data will also be a large obstacle to overcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical utility of a new device for continuous noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) based on chest bio-reactance compared with cardiac output measured semi-continuously by thermodilution using a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC-CCO). DESIGN Prospective, single-center study. SETTING Intensive care unit. PATIENTS Consecutive adult patients immediately after cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS Cardiac output measurements obtained from NICOM and thermodilution were simultaneously recorded minute by minute and compared in 110 patients. We evaluated the accuracy, precision, responsiveness, and reliability of NICOM for detecting cardiac output changes. Tolerance for each of these parameters was specified prospectively. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS A total of 65,888 pairs of cardiac output measurements were collected. Mean reference values for cardiac output ranged from 2.79 to 9.27 l/min. During periods of stable PAC-CCO (slope<+/-10%, 2SD/mean<20%), the correlation between NICOM and thermodilution was R=0.82; bias was +0.16+/-0.52 l/min (+4.0+/-11.3%), and relative error was 9.1%+/-7.8%. In 85% of patients the relative error was <20%. During periods of increasing output, slopes were similar with the two methods in 96% of patients and intra-class correlation was positive in 96%. Corresponding values during periods of decreasing output were 90% and 84%, respectively. Precision was always better with NICOM than with thermodilution. During hemodynamic challenges, changes were 3.1+/-3.8 min faster with NICOM (p<0.01) and amplitude of changes did not differ significantly. Finally, sensitivity of the NICOM for detecting significant directional changes was 93% and specificity was 93%. CONCLUSION Cardiac output measured by NICOM had most often acceptable accuracy, precision, and responsiveness in a wide range of circulatory situations.

Abstract
Minimally invasive cardiac output was determined using transthoracic bioimpedance (BICO), partial carbon dioxide rebreathing (NICO) and transesophageal Doppler echocardiography (TEECO) and compared to thermodilution (TDCO) in 6 beagle dogs. The dogs were 2 years old, weigh between 9.1-13.0 kg and were anesthetized with nitrous oxide-oxygen-sevoflurane. All dogs were administered a neuromuscular blocking drug and artificially ventilated during anesthesia. Thirty paired measurements of TDCO and each non-invasive method were collected during low, intermediate, and high values of cardiac output achieved by varying the depth of anesthesia and the administration of dobutamine. Cardiac output values ranged from 1.10-2.50 L/min for BICO compared to 0.81-4.88 L/min for TDCO; 0.70-2.60 L/min for NICO compared to 0.89-4.45 L/min for TDCO; and 0.59-4.37 L/min for TEECO compared to 0.57-4.15 L/min for TDCO. The limits of agreement and percentage error were -0.58 +/- 1.56 L/min and +/- 75.4% for BICO, -1.04 +/- 1.08 L/min and +/- 56.0% for NICO, and 0.03 +/- 0.26 L/min and +/- 12.3% for TEECO compared to TDCO. In conclusion, TEECO provided the best agreement to TDCO in sevoflurane anesthetized beagle dogs.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is more frequently associated with perioperative fluid and electrolyte disturbances than transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURT) because of irrigating fluid absorption. Because fluid overload may cause hypertension, we compared the patients' intraoperative hemodynamic profiles (including the incidence of hypertension) during TURP vs TURT, both performed during spinal anesthesia, by using the bioimpedance method. DESIGN Prospective single-blind study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS 80 (40 in each group) men, ASA physical status I and II. INTERVENTIONS Patients underwent TURP or TURT surgery with spinal anesthesia. MEASUREMENTS Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, cardiac index, and systemic vascular resistance were compared between the 2 groups. A mean arterial pressure greater than 30% from the baseline value was considered as hypertension. Plasma sodium was measured preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. MAIN RESULTS Transurethral resection of prostate patients received more irrigating fluid (7900 +/- 2310 vs 5650 +/- 21560, P < 0.05) and had a higher calculated volume of fluid absorbed: 638 +/- 60 vs 303 +/- 40 mL for the TURT patients (P < 0.05). Mean arterial pressures were higher with TURP, 30 minutes after the onset of surgery and at the end of the procedure (111 +/- 15 vs 100 +/- 10 and 109 +/- 14 vs 99 +/- 14 mmHg, respectively; P < 0.05). However, there was no hypertension in either group. There were no differences in hemodynamic measurements of hyponatremic vs normonatremic patients. Plasma sodium decreased postoperatively more in the TURP group (140.4 +/- 2.6 mEq/L baseline to 134.1 +/- 3.5 mEq/L, P < 0.05) and was lower postoperatively in the TURP group compared with TURT (134.1 +/- 3.5 vs 137.2 +/- 2.9 mEq/L, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Although more irrigating fluid was absorbed in the TURP group, there were no episodes of hypertension in either group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the published evidence regarding the use of transthoracic electric bioimpedance (TEB) for the non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output in the ED. METHOD Databases of the medical literature, relevant textbooks and the Internet were searched for articles regarding TEB. Criteria for inclusion were drawn up prior to examination of the articles and included adherence to guidelines for comparing methods of clinical measurement. RESULTS Results are discussed under the following headings: technological capability, diagnostic accuracy, limitations, range of possible uses, therapeutic impact, impact on health care providers, patient outcome and future directions. CONCLUSION TEB is a technique for the non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output whose ease of use, continuous data acquisition and versatility suggest it may have a role to play in the care of patients in our EDs.
