NCT06982560 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 0107959
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 50
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if electrical cardiometry (EC) could help in managing acute heart failure (AHF). The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. 1.Is there effect of use of cardiometry on rate of use of vasopressors, vasodilators and inotropes?
2. 2.is there effect of use of cardiometry on mortality and hospital length of stay?

Conditions
