Clinical Evaluation of the Uscom Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor in Cardiac Surgical Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

No difference in the hemodynamic response to Nordic pole walking vs. conventional brisk walking — A randomized exercise field test using the ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM)

“…All participants were tested at rest and for three times during recovery using a non-invasive Doppler-based cardiac output monitor (USCOM for ultrasonic cardiac output monitor, Sydney, Australia). Validation and reliability studies have been carried out in animal models [3] as in humans [4,5].USCOM used in an exercise testing found a high correlation between maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and cardiac output (r = 0.904) and cardiac index (r = 0.987), and a good correlation to stroke volume as well (r = 0.766, all p b 0.05) up to cardiac outputs of 20 l/min. Linear regression for CO was VO2 = 4.…”

The Resuscitation Package in Sepsis

“…The amount of research on using SV to guide fluid resuscitation is limited because of the invasive monitoring equipment required for SV measurement (eg, pulmonary artery catheter, esophageal Doppler) as well as difficulty obtaining reliable measurements. Evaluation of noninvasive technology with the ability to measure SV has shown promising preliminary results [16][17][18][19][20].…”

Non-invasive determination of stroke volume and cardiac output after high intensity playing exercise in elite female soccer players

“…The time point of 30 s after the exercise was used to adjust ultrasound position on the suprasternal position and start the trace. Validation and reliability studies have been carried out in animal models [3] as in humans [13,5,15,19].…”
