Evaluating a noninvasive method to measure blood flow in cardiac surgery 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 study aims to assess the consistency of cardiac output measurements obtained through a continuous carotid Doppler technique compared to the traditional thermodilution method in adult cardiac surgery patients. The research focuses on patients who are mechanically ventilated and have thermodilution monitoring in place. By utilizing noninvasive carotid blood flow measurements, the study seeks to provide a simpler and safer alternative for estimating cardiac output and related parameters during surgery. The effectiveness of this technique will be evaluated through interventions such as passive leg raising and Dobutamine administration.
