Details and patient eligibility

About

Presently there is no apparatus, clinically available, for routine determination of cardiac output (CO) in children. The goal of this research is to develop new technology that will help determine CO in neonates.

Enrollment: 7 patients

Sex: All

Ages: Under 1 month old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• All neonatal patients cared for in our ICU with umbilical venous and arterial catheters simultaneously in place for their care, will be eligible.
