Brief Summary

Hemodynamic monitoring is measuring and monitoring the factors that influence the force and flow of the blood. It is an important aspect of patients care in operating rooms and critical care units. It aims to guide medical management so as to prevent or treat organ failure and improve the outcomes of patients.

Conditions

Thoracic Diseases

Keywords

Thoracic fluid content; respiratory intensive care unit

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• length of respiratory intensive care unit stay

  Thoracic fluid content as an outcome predictor in length of stay in respiratory intensive care unit

  6 months

• duration of invasive mechanical ventilation

  Thoracic fluid content as an outcome predictor in duration of invasive mechanical ventilation

  6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

Study Arms (1)

Patients indicated for admission to respiratory critical care unit of chest medicine department

130 patients \>18 years old were enrolled during the period from December 2023 to December 2024

Diagnostic Test: Hemodynamic parameters was measured by using electric cardiometry (ICON)

Interventions

Hemodynamic parameters was measured by using electric cardiometry (ICON) DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Hemodynamic parameters was measured daily at 10 a.m by using ICON non-invasive cardiometer model C3 made in Germany by OSYPKA medical (figure 5) by placing the four sensors on the neck and left side of the thorax allow for the continuous measurement of the changes of electrical conductivity within the thorax parameters such as CO, TFC, SVV and FTC were calculated 3 times with 5-min intervals and stored on the device automatically.
