Abstract

A number of technologies are available for minimally-invasive cardiac output measurement in patients during surgery but remain little used. A system has been developed based on CO₂ elimination (VCO₂) by the lungs for use in ventilated patients, which can be fully integrated into a modern anesthesia/monitoring platform, and provides semi-automated, continuous breath-by-breath cardiac output monitoring. A prototype measurement system was constructed to measure VCO₂ and end-tidal CO₂ concentration with each breath. A baseline measurement of non-shunt cardiac output was made during a brief change in ventilator rate, according to the differential CO₂ Fick approach. Continuous breath-by-breath monitoring of cardiac output was then performed from measurement of VCO₂, using a derivation of the Fick equation applied to pulmonary CO₂ elimination. Automated recalibration was done periodically and data was processed and cardiac output displayed in real time. Measurements were compared with simultaneous measurements by bolus thermodilution in 77 patients undergoing cardiac surgery or liver transplantation. Overall mean bias [sd] for agreement in cardiac output measurement was −0.1 [1.2] L/min, percentage error +44.2%, r = 0.92. Concordance in measurement of changes of at least 15% in cardiac output was 80%. The method followed sudden changes in cardiac output due to arrythmias and run onto cardiopulmonary bypass in real time. The accuracy and precision were comparable to other clinical techniques. The method is relatively seamless and largely automated and has potential for continuous, cardiac output monitoring in ventilated patients during anesthesia and critical care.
