Summary

The purpose of this study is to describe the use of non-invasive cardiac output monitors (NICOM) in patients with burn injuries and to develop a protocol for NICOM in a burn unit.

Conditions

  • Burns

Interventions

DEVICE

NICOM (non-invasive cardiac output monitor)

The non-invasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM) will be used to tailor fluid management to optimize resuscitation if the patient has an episode of hypotension (defined as systolic blood pressure \<100 or mean arterial pressure \<65). NICOM consists of two electrodes placed on the patient's chest and back and uses bioreactance technology to transduce signals to compute hemodynamic parameters on an associated monitor. The electrodes will remain on the patient for twenty minutes. Once the electrodes are in place the patient's leg will be raised to 45 degrees and the monitor to which the electrodes are attached will generate a number that reflects stroke volume of the heart. The electrodes will be removed once this number is determined.
