Non-invasive Cardiac Output Monitor in Young Adults

Completed
Conditions
Fluid Overload
Hypovolemia
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.
