Lack of agreement between esophageal doppler cardiac output measurements and continuous pulse contour analysis during off-pump cardiac surgery (original) (raw)
Objective: Transesophageal echo-Doppler cardiac output as well as arterial pulse contour analyses cardiac output are increasingly used for cardiac output monitoring. No data are available whether both techniques may be used interchangeably in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Design: Prospective, observational study Setting: Operating rooms of a university affiliated hospital. Patients: 30 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.Interventions: NoneMeasurements: 900 paired cardiac output measurements were obtained by pulse contour analysis following transpulmonary thermodilution equilibration by the PiCCO system (PiCCO, Pulsion, Munich, Germany) and by the HemoSonic esophageal doppler monitor (HemoSonic 100; Arrow International, Reading, PA). Measurements were performed within the first hour after induction of anesthesia. Results: Bland-Altman analysis of the complete data set showed a mean difference (bias) of - 0.12 l/min (95% CI -0.06 to -0.18) with...

Maintaining adequate organ perfusion during high-risk surgery requires continuous monitoring of cardiac output to optimise haemodynamics. Oesophageal Doppler Cardiac Output monitoring (DCO) is commonly used in this context, but has some limitations. Recently, the cardiac output estimated by pulse pressure analysis- (PPCO) was developed. This study evaluated the agreement of cardiac output variations estimated with 9 non-commercial algorithms of PPCO compared with those obtained with DCO. High-risk patients undergoing neurosurgery were monitored with invasive blood pressure and DCO. For each patient, 9 PPCO algorithms and DCO were recorded before and at the peak effect for every haemodynamic challenge. Sixty-two subjects were enrolled; 284 events were recorded, including 134 volume expansions and 150 vasopressor boluses. Among the 9 algorithms tested, the Liljestrand-Zander model led to the smallest bias (0.03 litre min(-1) [-1.31, +1.38] (0.21 litre min(-1) [-1.13; 1.54] after volum...
