Cardiac Output, High, Haemodynamic Instability, Pregnancy Related
Conditions
Brief summary
This prospective and observational trial over 55 pregnant women (third trimester) compares non invasive haemodynamic monitoring using Nexfin technology and ultrasonography technic
Interventions
continous haemodynamic monitoring is performed with digital Nexfin captor in two positions. in the same time transthoracic cardiac ultrasonography is performed to calculate cardiac output using velocity time index of aortic outflow chamber.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiac output measure | 30 minutes | Cardiac output is measured with non-invasive digital Nexfin technology (ml/min) and compared with transthoracic echocardiographic measure of cardiac output (ml/min) used as reference. Echographic cardiac output (ml/min) is measured as the produce of cross sectional aera of left ventricular outflow track (cm²) multiplied by velocity time index (cm) multiplied by heart rate (beat/min) |
