Non-invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring in Congenital Heart Disease
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Purpose of review Cardiac output (CO) is a fundamental physiological parameter that measures the volume of blood that is pumped by the heart per unit of time, and helps define how oxygen is delivered to the tissues of the human body. In this paper, we discuss current methods of continuous CO monitoring while defining low CO syndrome (LCOS) and how analytical tools may help improve CO management in the subpopulation of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Recent findings Non-invasive methods of measuring CO have become increasingly available in recent years. Advantages of non-invasive over invasive techniques include decreased risk of procedural complications, decreased exposure to sedative and/or anesthetic agents, and increased patient comfort. Pediatric patient populations are particularly sensitive to the risks and complications of invasive techniques given the relative size of current technologies to pediatric vascular and cardiac dimensions. Summary Novel device technologies, combined with emerging analytical techniques, may help improve measurement of CO in children and those with CHD, and allow earlier detection of LCOS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
