Validation of Nexfin Cardiac Output in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture

NCT01474824 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 6

Summary

Measurement of how much blood the heart pumps may be useful in guiding how much intravenous fluid to give patients during surgery. The current monitors either require special drips (arterial and/or central lines) or a probe inserted into the oesophagus (food pipe) which may limit their use. Newer monitors are available which are completely non-invasive and seem to work well in younger patients. Patients with hip fracture are elderly and frail. The investigators wish to see whether the newer non-invasive monitor works well enough compared to the current monitors in this group of patients. If it does this may allow more of these patients to be monitored in this way.
