Comparing Cardiac Output Measurements Using a Wearable, Wireless, Noninvasive Photoplethysmography-Based Device to Pulse Contour Cardiac Output in the General ICU: A Brief Report.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cardiac output (CO) measurements in the ICU are usually based on invasive techniques, which are technically complex and associated with clinical complications. This study aimed to compare CO measurements obtained from a noninvasive photoplethysmography-based device to a pulse contour cardiac output device in ICU patients.

Design

Observational, prospective, comparative clinical trial.

Setting

Single-center general ICU.

Patients

Patients admitted to the general ICU monitored using a pulse contour cardiac output device as per the decision of the attending physician.

Interventions

Parallel monitoring of CO using a photoplethysmography-based chest patch device and pulse contour cardiac output while the medical team was blinded to the values obtaine
