Capnodynamics - noninvasive cardiac output and mixed venous oxygen saturation monitoring in children.

ABSTRACT: Hemodynamic monitoring in children is challenging for many reasons. Technical limitations in combination with insufficient validation against reference methods, makes reliable monitoring systems difficult to establish. Since recent studies have highlighted perioperative cardiovascular stability as an important factor for patient outcome in pediatrics, the need for accurate hemodynamic monitoring methods in children is obvious. The development of mathematical processing of fast response mainstream capnography signals, has allowed for the development of capnodynamic hemodynamic monitoring. By inducing small changes in ventilation in intubated and mechanically ventilated patients, fluctuations in alveolar carbon dioxide are created. The subsequent changes in carbon dioxide elimination can be
