Neonatal Impedance Cardiography in Asphyxiated Piglets-A Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive method for continuous cardiac output measurement and has the potential to improve monitoring and treatment of sick neonates. PhysioFlow^® is a signal-morphology ICG-system showing promising results in adults with low and high cardiac output, but no data from neonates or neonatal models exist. The aim of this study was to investigate PhysioFlow^® feasibility in asphyxiated newborn piglets.

Methods

Fifteen piglets, under continuous arterial heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) monitoring, were asphyxiated until asystole. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed and the piglets monitored after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Arterial lactate was measured at baseline, every 5 min throug
