Compare cardiac index by right ventricular waveform vs. thermodilution in septic shock patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes data from ICU patients with septic shock who have a Swan-Ganz IQ catheter. It compares the traditional thermodilution cardiac index with a continuous estimate derived from the right ventricular pressure waveform. The goal is to see how closely the continuous method agrees with the gold-standard thermodilution in real clinical settings, including during volume expansion tests. The study plans to assess concordance across different clinical situations that may affect right heart function, such as right ventricular dysfunction or valvular disease. Findings could influence how clinicians monitor cardiac output in the ICU when rapid, ongoing estimates are desirable.
