Discontinuous Echocardiographic Subcostal Cardiac Output Measurement

Discontinuous Echocardiographic Subcostal Cardiac Output Measurement by the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract in Critical Care

Sponsor

University Hospital, Rouen

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Nov 25, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Cardiac Output Measurement

Summary

Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is recommended for the most serious and multiple-failure patients in critical care and allows the diagnosis of acute circulatory failure as well as its etiology and also allows the monitoring of treatments. However, although allowing an adaptation of hemodynamic treatments and being integrated into a therapeutic personalization approach in situations of acute circulatory failure, the measurement of CO is conditioned by the availability of devices, by their sometimes problematic invasiveness, as well as their cost. In addition, the discontinuous measurement of CO by echocardiography is made difficult in the context of resuscitation with patients who are less mobilizable and less echogenic.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating a specific technique for measuring how much blood the heart pumps out (cardiac output) using a portable ultrasound (echocardiography) performed from the lower chest or abdomen (subcostal view) in ICU patients. It aims to test whether this method is accurate and practical for real-time monitoring. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You have been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Rouen University Hospital - You require a transthoracic echocardiogram (a non-invasive heart ultrasound) for diagnosis or treatment monitoring during your ICU stay **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under legal protection (such as guardianship or judicial custody) - You are not covered by the French social security system - You or your trusted representative have refused to participate - You have conditions that prevent adequate ultrasound imaging Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
