Measurement of Pulse Pressure Variation and Cardiac Output by a New Application for Android™ (Captesia™)

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Bypass
Registration Number
NCT02692222
Lead Sponsor
Erasme University Hospital
Brief Summary

This study test the agreement and accuracy of Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) and Cardiac Output (CO) obtained by the Android application Capstesia™ against the gold standard : PPV and CO calculated by thermodilution.

Detailed Description

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) remains a good predictor of fluid responsiveness in the OR. However, PPV can be time-consuming to calculate (manual determination), is not always displayed on monitoring screens nor reliable through visual assessment and needs additional devices to be displayed. A new Android application (Captesia) automatically calculates the PPV utilizing a digital photograph of the arterial waveform from the monitor. The application determines the PPV by selecting peaks and troughs of the arterial curve.
