Transpulmonary Thermodilution Measurements in Patients With Heart Diseases

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Heart Diseases
Interventions
Device: PiCCO Catheter (Pulsiocath 5F)
Registration Number
NCT02035007
Lead Sponsor
University of Zurich
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the validation of the PiCCO (Pulse Contour Cardiac Output)-derived transpulmonary thermodilution technology in patients with heart diseases.

Detailed Description

* How do PiCCO and PAC (pulmonary artery catheter) derived hemodynamic variables change in different cardiac pathologies?

* How do PiCCO hemodynamic variables compare to transthoracic echocardiographic parameters in different cardiac pathologies?

* How does GEDV (global enddiastolic volume) correlate with left ventricles end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) assessed by LV (left ventricle) ventriculography and echocardiography?

* How do PiCCO cardiac function variables (GEF \[global ejection fraction\]; CFI \[cardiac function index\]) correlate with LV dP/dt max, LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) assessed by LV ventriculography and echocardiography, LVFAC (left ventricular fractional area of change), LV stroke work index (LVSWI) and cardiac power (CP)?

* How does GEDV compare to LVEDV and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) as assessed by the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)?

* How does right ventricular function influence GEDV, GEF and CFI?
