Non-invasive Cardiac Output Monitor in Young Adults
- Conditions
- Fluid OverloadHypovolemia
- Interventions
- Device: NICOM
- Registration Number
- NCT02813915
- Lead Sponsor
- Indiana University
- Brief Summary
The investigators would like to study cardiac output, stroke volume, and fluid responsiveness on young adult pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery with the use of the NICOM, a non-invasive monitor. The NICOM method is non-invasive and provides reliable trending of cardiac output and stroke volume. Measuring cardiac output in conjunction with routine monitoring will provide a better assessment of intra-operative status.
- Detailed Description
This study will involve measurements of cardiac output, stroke volume, and fluid responsiveness (change in stroke volume of ≥ 10%) obtained via passive leg raise (PLR) before and after anesthesia induction.
