Comprehensive picture of hemodynamics
Hemodynamic Differential Diagnosis and Therapy
Electrical Cardiometry™ is a method for continuous non-invasive determination of a wide range of hemodynamic parameters, including estimates for blood flow, fluid status, contractility, systemic vascular resistance and oxygenation. Electrical Cardiometry™ allows to capture a comprehensive picture of the hemodynamic circulatory system, allowing differential diagnosis for a patient management specifically tailored to the patient’s needs. Electrical Cardiometry™ supports the physician to find a balance of volume management, and cardio-vascular management, ad hoc and during the course of treatment.
Blood Flow:
- Stroke volume (SV) or its index * (SI),
- Cardiac output (CO) or its index * (CI),
- Heart rate (HR)
Fluid Status:
- Stroke volume variation (SVV),
- Corrected flow time (FTc),
- Thoracic fluid content (TFC)
Contractility and Cardiac Function:
- Contractility index (ICON),
- Systolic time ratio (STR),
- Pre-ejection period (PEP),
- Left ventricular ejection time (LVET)
- Cardiac Performance Index (CPI)
- Variation in contractility (VIC)
Vascular Resistance:
- Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and its index * (SVRI)
(ICON®, ICONCore® after input of blood pressure)
Blood Pressure:
- Mean arterial pressure (MAP),
- Systolic arterial pressure (SBP),
- Diastolic arterial pressure (DBP)
(only AESCULON®)
Oxygenation:
- Supplied oxygen or its index * (DO2 / DO2I),
- Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2),
- Hemoglobin content (Hb)
(only AESCULON®, ICON® and ICONCore® after specifying SpO2 and Hb)
(* Indices can be related to body surface or weight)
