An Exploratory Study on the Relationship between Brachial Arterial Blood Flow and Cardiac Output.

Journal of healthcare engineering
BACKGROUND: We have obtained prospective clinical outcomes using the brachial artery largely, such as Korotkoff sound and vasomotor function measurement by ultrasound guidance to predict the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. Very few reports on t...

Classification of impedance cardiography dZ/dt complex subtypes using pattern recognition artificial neural networks.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
In impedance cardiography (ICG), the detection of dZ/dt signal (ICG) characteristic points, especially the X point, is a crucial step for the calculation of hemodynamic parameters such as stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO). Unfortunately, for...

An Efficient Cardiac Arrhythmia Onset Detection Technique Using a Novel Feature Rank Score Algorithm.

Journal of medical systems
The interpretation of various cardiovascular blood flow abnormalities can be identified using Electrocardiogram (ECG). The predominant anomaly due to the blood flow dynamics leads to the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in the cardiac system. In thi...

An Implantable Extracardiac Soft Robotic Device for the Failing Heart: Mechanical Coupling and Synchronization.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic devices have significant potential for medical device applications that warrant safe synergistic interaction with humans. This article describes the optimization of an implantable soft robotic system for heart failure whereby soft actuat...

Minimum effective fluid volume of colloid to prevent hypotension during caesarean section under spinal anesthesia using a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion: An up-down sequential allocation study.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to de termine the minimum effective fluid volume (MEFV) of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) infused in a preload fashion which would prevent hypotension in 50% of parturients undergoing caesarean section. A...

Estimation of extravascular lung water using the transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) method: a validation study in neonatal lambs.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Increased extravascular lung water (EVLW) may contribute to respiratory failure in neonates. Accurate measurement of EVLW in these patients is limited due to the lack of bedside methods. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the reliability ...

Capnodynamic assessment of effective lung volume during cardiac output manipulations in a porcine model.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
A capnodynamic calculation of effective pulmonary blood flow includes a lung volume factor (ELV) that has to be estimated to solve the mathematical equation. In previous studies ELV correlated to reference methods for functional residual capacity (FR...

Influence of the central venous site on the transpulmonary thermodilution parameters in critically ill burn patients.

Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
The aim of this study was to verify the measurement concordance of cardiac index (CI), extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI) with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) between the jugular and femoral acc...

Estimation of Central Aortic Pressure Waveforms by Combination of a Meta-Learning Neural Network and a Physics-Driven Method.

International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering
The accurate non-invasive detection and estimation of central aortic pressure waveforms (CAPW) are crucial for reliable treatments of cardiovascular system diseases. But the accuracy and practicality of current estimation methods need to be improved....
