Cardiac Output Measurement in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit by Metabolic Monitor (Fick Method) (PEDIA-FICK-ICU)

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Intensive Care Units, Pediatric
Registration Number
NCT05741918
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Montpellier
Brief Summary

Cardiac output measurement is one of the most frequently used haemodynamic parameter used for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In pediatric ICU, it is often measured with echocardiography that is a non-invasive method but is operator dependant and can't provide continuous monitoring.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of cardiac output measurement by Fick's method, non-invasive and allowing continuous monitoring, in comparison to echocardiography in pediatric intensive care unit.
