Why the study?
Do oesophageal Doppler, Vigileo FloTrac™, and LiDCOrapid™ monitors agree in tracking physiological trends in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery?
Do oesophageal Doppler, Vigileo FloTrac™, and LiDCOrapid™ monitors agree in tracking physiological trends in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery?
Arterial pressure-derived cardiac output devices (LiDCOrapid and Vigileo FloTrac) show reasonable agreement with each other but differ significantly from oesophageal Doppler in response to clinical interventions, limiting their interchangeability.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Arterial pressure devices agree reasonably but diverge from Doppler on interventions; leaves open interchangeability for intraoperative trend monitoring.
Phan et al. (2016) studied this question.
