Continuous Non-invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring in Early-onset Severe Preeclampsia: a Comparison of Echocardiography, Bioreactance, and Finger Cuff Measurements

Completed
Conditions
Pre-Eclampsia
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Echocardiogrpahy and non-invasive monitoring
Registration Number
NCT05299229
Lead Sponsor
Yale University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the feasibility and accuracy of two methods of non-invasive hemodynamic assessments - bioreactance as assessed by non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM; Cheetah Medical) and pulse wave analysis as assessed by finger cuff arterial pressure (ClearSite, Edwards Life Sciences) - compared to hemodynamic assessments by intermittent echocardiography in early onset preeclampsia.

Heart and vascular functionEchocardiogrpahy and non-invasive monitoringAll study participants will have echocardiography and non-invasive monitoring by chest/back sensors and a finger cuff to determine the best method of monitoring heart and vascular function in preeclampsia.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in cardiac output (L/min) as measured by NICOM (bioreactance) monitoringBaseline (typically 3-5 days before birth, but can be up to 5 weeks before birth), 3 days after birth (postpartum)

Cardiac output (L/min) ranges 3-10 L/min, lower values associated with more severe preeclampsia

Change in systemic vascular resistance (dynes/sec*cm-5) as measured by NICOM (bioreactance) monitoringBaseline (typically 3-5 days before birth, but can be up to 5 weeks before birth), 3 days after birth (postpartum)

Systemic vascular resistance ranges 600-2000 dynes/sec\*cm-5, higher values associated with more severe preeclampsia

Change in Cardiac output (L/min) as measured by Clearsite (pulse wave analysis) monitoringBaseline (typically 3-5 days before birth, but can be up to 5 weeks before birth), 3 days after birth (postpartum)

Cardiac output (L/min) ranges 3-10 L/min, lower values associated with more severe preeclampsia

Change in Cardiac output (L/min) as measured by transthoracic echocardiographyBaseline (typically 3-5 days before birth, but can be up to 5 weeks before birth), 3 days after birth (postpartum)

Cardiac output (L/min) ranges 3-10 L/min, lower values associated with more severe preeclampsia
