Why Non-Invasive Monitoring of Cardiac Output in Pediatric Patients?
Why Non-Invasive Monitoring of Cardiac Output in Pediatric Patients?
Accurate measurement of cardiac output (CO) is essential for advanced hemodynamic monitoring in pediatric patients.
It guides therapy,
Supports early detection of low-output states, and
Helps prevent organ hypoperfusion and complications.
Current tools are either invasive, operator-dependent, or simply not suitable for infants and small children. As a result, clinicians lack continuous, reliable CO data in many pediatric critical-care situations.
Who Cares?
Who Cares?
1.3 Million infants are born every year with congenital heart defects [1].
> 20Million children under the age of 5 suffer from a septic shock every year [2].
900,000 annual admissions to NICUs and PICUs in the US. 30%-50% of these patients need hemodynamic monitoring [3].
A Non-invasive device for monitoring cardiac output is imperative to successful treatment of these kids.
