Brief summary

Presently there is no apparatus, clinically available, for routine determination of cardiac output (CO) in children. The goal of this research is to develop new technology that will help determine CO in neonates.

Interventions

DEVICECOstatus cardiac output measurement with isotonic saline

Isotonic saline, which is the indicator, is injected to obtain COstatus cardiac output measurements. No other interventions are made for the purpose of the study.
