No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if electrical cardiometry (EC) could help in managing acute heart failure (AHF). The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is there effect of use of cardiometry on rate of use of vasopressors, vasodilators and inotropes?
2. is there effect of use of cardiometry on mortality and hospital length of stay?

Researchers compared cardiometry to traditional methods like clinical examination, lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava.

Participants were divided into two groups, one managed by cardiometry and the other by traditional methods, then followed till improvement or death and compared regarding use of medications, length of stay and mortality
