Arterial Tone Influence on Cardiac Output Measured by PRAM
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the role of arterial tone in the accuracy of cardiac output (CO) measurement by Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM). Patients receiving noradrenaline who need for clinical reason to change the noradrenaline dose will be enrolled. We use echocardiography as reference method of CO measurement.

Detailed Description
Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM) is an arterial pulse contour analysis method for CO measurement. As it is an uncalibrated method, one possible reason for its inaccuracy is rapid changes in arterial tone.
