Abstract
Abstract Purpose of review Cardiac output (CO) is a fundamental physiological parameter that measures the volume of blood that is pumped by the heart per unit of time, and helps define how oxygen is delivered to the tissues of the human body. In this paper, we discuss current methods of continuous CO monitoring while defining low CO syndrome (LCOS) and how analytical tools may help improve CO management in the subpopulation of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Recent findings Non-invasive methods of measuring CO have become increasingly available in recent years. Advantages of non-invasive over invasive techniques include decreased risk of procedural complications, decreased exposure to sedative and/or anesthetic agents, and increased patient comfort. Pediatric patient populations are particularly sensitive to the risks and complications of invasive techniques given the relative size of current technologies to pediatric vascular and cardiac dimensions. Summary Novel device technologies, combined with emerging analytical techniques, may help improve measurement of CO in children and those with CHD, and allow earlier detection of LCOS.
期刊介绍:
Current Treatment Options in Pediatrics aims to review the most important, recently published research on treatment in the field of pediatrics. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of children of all ages.We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas covering all the major medical and surgical disciplines in pediatrics. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive treatment-focused review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
