Official Title: Pilot Evaluation Using The Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitor (NICOM) for Goal-directed Fluid Resuscitation for Inpatients With Hypotension and/or Septic Shock
Brief Summary:
The Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitor (NICOM) is a non-invasive monitor capable of measuring cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI), and stroke volume (SV) and stroke volume index (SVI) based on heart rate.Conceptually NICOM is a technology that utilizes a dynamic response characteristic in assessing the need for fluid administration, whereby SVI is measured before and after a fluid challenge with more fluid given only if SVI increases significantly with administered fluid.Dynamic response technologies are…
