Correlation Analysis Between Mostcare Parameters and Spontaneous Breathing Trial in Patients After Cardiac Surgery

Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is of primary importance in high-risk surgery and critically ill patients. Intermittent thermodilution (ThD) by means of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) was invasiveness, the occurrence of complications, and inability to estimate CO on a beat-by-beat basis may explain the reduction in routine use. Echocardiography is now widely used. However, a poor acoustic window, inaccurate diameter calculations, and difficulty maintaining the angle of insonation and blood flow within the recommended values may lead to inaccuracy in CO estimation.Pulse contour methods (PCMs) are commonly used as they seem to fulfill most of the characteristics of an "ideal" hemodynamic monitoring system. Mostcare can continuously and real-time monitor important circulatory indicators such as cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiovascular impedance (Ztot), cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE), and maximum pressure gradient (dp/dt MAX). It may help identify the causes of difficulty in weaning patients from ventilators after cardiac surgery.
