Neonatal Cardiac Monitoring

American Journal of Critical Care, 2013
Scenario: This electrocardiographic (ECG) strip was recorded for a 3-day-old male newborn after an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery. Cardiac monitoring was initiated because of a transient episode of cyanosis in which a follow-up ECG showed no signs of congenital heart anomaly.

Noninvasive Cardiac Monitoring

Critical Care Clinics, 1988
During the past few years a number of technological developments have made new methods of noninvasive cardiac monitoring available for use in the intensive care unit. Some of these can be used almost continuously some repeatedly, but intermittently, to manage critically ill patients.

Cardiac output monitoring

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2009
The primary goal of hemodynamic therapy is the prevention of inadequate tissue perfusion and inadequate oxygenation. Advanced cardiovascular monitoring is a prerequisite to optimize hemodynamic treatment in critically ill patients prone to cardiocirculatory failure. The most ideal cardiac output (CO) monitor should be reliable, continuous, noninvasive,

Noninvasive Cardiac Monitoring

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1987
Several noninvasive techniques are currently utilized to safely assess cardiac function beyond the limits of the physical examination and EKG. These studies can accurately document rhythm and valvular abnormalities as well as the heart's ability to withstand stress.

Bedside Cardiac Monitoring

Critical Care Nurse, 1998
Most newer bedside monitors allow monitoring of 2 leads simultaneously but only allow monitoring of one precordial (V) lead at a time. Leads V1 or V6 can be obtained by using a 5-lead bedside monitoring cable with limb electrodes placed as shown in Figure 1: • Arm electrodes should be placed on the shoulders as close as possible to where the arms join ...

Invasive Cardiac Monitoring

Critical Care Clinics, 1988
Since its introduction in 1970, the application for PA catheter monitoring has dramatically broadened. PA catheters provide the ability to obtain hemodynamic data for the assessment, monitoring, and therapeutic management of critically ill patients. Because of the potential complications associated with PA catheter monitoring, numerous editorials and ...

Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitor

Anesthesiology, 2000
Background The endotracheal cardiac output monitor (ECOM) is a new device that uses an endotracheal tube with multiple electrodes to measure cardiac output (CO). It measures the changes in electrical impedance caused by pulsatile blood flow in the aorta. The system was tested for safety and efficacy in 10 swine.

Noninvasive cardiac output monitoring

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002
In an effort to provide high-quality intensive care without increasing morbidity and possibly decreasing mortality, noninvasive means of monitoring hemodynamics have been developed. Recently, commercially available monitoring techniques have been afforded the intensivist for just this purpose. This review will discuss the various means available, their

Ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2007
Cardiac arrhythmias may cause palpitations, dyspnoea, angina pectoris, dizziness or even syncope and sudden death. This article will review the indications for investigation, the novel devices that are available for investigating patients with suspected cardiac dysrhythmias and the new technology available for analysis and reporting.
