Parameters of Cardiac Indices on the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor As Potential Indicators for Predicting the Achievement of Ultrafiltration Endpoint for Acute Heart Failure Treatment

In the USCOM + ultrafiltration group, cardiac output was monitored using a non-invasive ultrasonic cardiac output monitor, which employed transaortic or transpulmonary Doppler flow tracing and estimated the valve area using a patient's height to estimate their cardiac output. The monitored parameters include, SV index (SVI), SV variation (SVV), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), inotropy (INO), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), flow time corrected (FTC) and velocity time integral (VTI) .
