Summary

Recently, an uncalibrated minimally invasive Pulse-code Modulator (PCM) has been developed: the MostCare system. This monitoring system is powered by Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM), which is based on the mathematical analysis of the arterial pressure profile changes. It allows beat-to-beat Stroke Volume (SV) assessment from the pressure signal recorded invasively in radial, brachial, or femoral arteries. The most innovative features of this method are: 1) the lack of a calibration requirement, 2) the analysis of the arterial wave signal is performed at 1000 Hz, 3) a dedicated arterial catheter-transducer is unnecessary. MostCare is powered by PRAM (Pressure Recording Analytical Method) algorithm. The investigators primary end-point was to evaluate the relationship between Cardiac Output (CO) measured by MostCare with CO calculated with Echo-Doppler in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients under different clinical conditions. As a secondary end-point the investigators evaluated the relationship between CO measured by MostCare with CO obtained with thermodilution techniques (standard bolus thermodilution or transpulmonary thermodilution, i.e. PiCCO system). This is a prospective multicentre observational study.
