NCT03444545

Brief Summary

The capnodynamic method non-invasively calculates effective pulmonary blood flow (EPBF) continuously during surgery. In this study EPBF is compared to cardiac output (CO) measured with Transpulmonary Thermodilution (TPTD) att baseline and during hemodynamic changes in patients scheduled for open abdominal surgery at the Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Sweden.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Absolute values of EPBF compared to Cardiac output

    Mean cardiac output as measured with transpulmonary thermodilution compared to mean effective pulmonary blood flow measured with the capnodynamic method at the start of first thermodilution and during the time interval zero to 4 hours.

    Mean CO vs EPBF from zero to 4 hours perioperatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in EPBF compared to changes in Cardiac output

    Mean CO vs mean EPBF from zero to 4 hours perioperatively

Interventions

Expired carbon dioxide is measured with a mainstream infrared sensor (Capnostat-3, Respironics Inc, Wallingford, CT, USA) and gas flow analysed with the flow sensor incorporated in the ventilator (Servo-i, Maquet Critical Care, Solna, Sweden) which was connected to a computer where all the mathematical analysis is carried out with a software written in Matlab™ (The Mathworks Inc, Natick, MA, USA). Instead of a fixed ratio between inspiration and expiration, three breaths out of every nine are prolonged with a 3-4 seconds longer expiration creating small changes in end- expiratory CO2

Each cardiac output measurement comprises an average of three thermodilutions performed successively one after another. TPTD is performed with a PiCCO2 monitor (Pulsion Medical Systems SE, Feldkirchen, Germany)
