Measurement of Cardiac Output Before and After Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
- Conditions
- Cardiac Output
- Registration Number
- NCT01103895
- Lead Sponsor
- Transonic Systems Inc.
- Brief Summary
Cardiac output, the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute, will be measured in adults undergoing surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. Cardiac output will be measured before and after cardiopulmonary bypass using a device that employs ultrasound dilution technology. The ultrasound dilution cardiac output measurements will be validated or compared with cardiac output measurements made using thermodilution, which is the current "gold standard."

Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- TERMINATED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 14
- Patients aged > 21 years
- Patients undergoing surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass
- Patients instrumented with a thermodilution catheter
- Patients aged < 21 years
- Patients undergoing surgery "off pump" (not involving cardiopulmonary bypass)
Study & Design
- Study Type
- OBSERVATIONAL
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cardiac output after cardiopulmonary bypass Less than 10 minutes Cardiac output will be measured using an ultrasound dilution technique and compared with cardiac output measured using thermodilution after the completion of surgical procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cardiac output before cardiopulmonary bypass Less than 10 minutes Cardiac output will be measured using an ultrasound dilution technique and compared to cardiac output measured using thermodilution. This will serve as a baseline measurement of the patient's cardiac output.
