Abstract
(Int J Obstet Anesth. 2018;36:85–95) Monitoring cardiac output (CO) in pregnant patients has been suggested as a means to improve outcomes for mother and child as blood pressure and clinical signs may not be sufficient proxys for CO. Currently, the gold standard for CO measurement is the thermodilution technique via a pulmonary artery catheter or transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). This study aimed to evaluate the Clearsight, a noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring system that uses “volume clamp” technology to produce a continuous arterial BP wave, as a valid monitor of CO and stroke volume (SV) in parturients compared with TTE.
