Clinical evaluation of the FloTrac/VigileoTM system and two established continuous cardiac output monitoring devices in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Abstract

The performance of the FloTrac/Vigileo system, the PiCCOplus, and the Vigilance CCO monitoring for CO measurement were comparable when tested against intermittent thermodilution in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Comparison of cardiac output measurements obtained through thermo dilution method and arterial pressure wave analysis in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass graft surgery

“…Button ve ark., [8] FloTrac/Vigileo sistem ile termodilüsyon yöntemini karşılaştırdıkları çalışmalarında oldukça uyumlu sonuçlar bulduklarını, bunu da hastanın vasküler durumunu gerçeğine daha yakın bir şekilde yansıtan yeni yazılımı kullanmalarına bağladıklarını bildirmişlerdir.…”

Current Use of the Pulmonary Artery Catheter in Cardiac Surgery: A Survey Study

“…[29][30][31][32][33] The reliability of minimally invasive technologies has come under question, especially in the setting of hemodynamic instability and rapid changes in peripheral vascular resistance even with newer software modifications. [33][34][35][36] The possible limitations of this study should be considered. The results may have been affected by sampling and nonresponse bias.…”

Inter-device differences in monitoring for goal-directed fluid therapy

“…64,[66][67][68] The accuracy of these devices generally decreases during periods of hemodynamic instability; 59,60,64,[69][70][71] thus, there appears to be a tradeoff between convenience and reliability, especially in situations in which loading conditions are expected to change.…”
