The normal cardiac index in older healthy individuals: a scoping review.
Critical Care and Resuscitation, 2019 OBJECTIVE Despite the growing number of older patients having major surgery, the normal resting values for the cardiac index of older patients remain unclear. We aim to derive a normative value for such patients. DESIGN Scoping review.

Cardiac index-guided therapy to maintain optimised postinduction cardiac index in high-risk patients having major open abdominal surgery: the multicentre randomised iPEGASUS trial [PDF]
Br J AnaesthBackground It is unclear whether optimising intraoperative cardiac index can reduce postoperative complications. We tested the hypothesis that maintaining optimised postinduction cardiac index during and for the first 8 h after surgery reduces the ...

Novel Computed Tomography Angiography Parameter Is Associated with Low Cardiac Index in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Retrospective Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and DiseaseChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complication of incomplete resolution of acute pulmonary embolism. We hypothesize changes in CT Hounsfield Unit gradient (HU-Δ) created by the dispersion of IV contrast through the downstream ...

Effect of different volumes of bupivacaine 0.25% caudal blocks on cardiac index measured by electrical cardiometry in children undergoing elective lower abdominal surgeries: A randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Indian Journal of AnaesthesiaBackground and Aims: Studies assessing caudal block’s effects on children’s cardiac output are scarce. We aimed to estimate the effects of the caudal block using different volumes of plain bupivacaine 0.25% on the cardiac index assessed by electrical ...

Education level may modify the association between cardiac index and cognitive function among elders with normal ejection function [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 BackgroundLower cardiac index (CI) in elders has been associated with incident dementia, and higher CI has protectively effect with brain aging. In the present study, we investigated the modulating effects of education level and arterial stiffness on the

Changes in the Cardiac Index Induced by Unilateral Passive Leg Raising in Spontaneously Breathing Patients: A Novel Way to Assess Fluid Responsiveness [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 BackgroundEvaluation of fluid responsiveness in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is crucial. This study was to determine whether changes in the cardiac index (CI) induced by a unilateral passive leg raising (PLR) test in spontaneously breathing ...

SGA-determined nutritional status predicts cardiac index and protein-energy wasting in peritoneal dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease [PDF]
Renal FailureObjective To investigate the relationships between Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)-determined nutritional status and cardiac index (CI), protein-energy wasting (PEW), prognostic factors, and clinical parameters in peritoneal dialysis patients with end-

Factors leading to supranormal cardiac index in pediatric pulmonary hypertension patients treated with parenteral prostanoid therapy [PDF]
Pulmonary Circulation, 2023 Parenteral prostanoid therapy (PPT) can result in supranormal cardiac index (SCI; >4 L/min/m2) in pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PPH) patients. We evaluated the incidence, hemodynamic factors, and outcomes associated with SCI in PPH.

Wearable ECG-PPG Deep Learning Model for Cardiac Index-Based Noninvasive Cardiac Output Estimation in Cardiac Surgery Patients [PDF]
SensorsAccurate cardiac output (CO) measurement is vital for hemodynamic management; however, it usually requires invasive monitoring, which limits its continuous and out-of-hospital use.
