Brief summary

The objective of the study is to observe the change in hemodynamic variables (i.e. CO, SV, HR, SV) as assessed during rapid fluid bolus.

Detailed description

The Noninvasive Starling SV (Baxter Healthcare) is a portable, non-invasive, cardiac output detector system. The Starling SV system measures the cardiac output by employing electrical bioreactance. Bioreactance is a measure of the electrical characteristics of a volume of tissue and fluid. In the case of cardiac output measurements, the relevant tissue includes the heart and the immediate surrounding volume of the thorax. The relevant fluid is blood. The objective of the study is observe the change in hemodynamic variables (i.e. CO, SV, HR, SV) as assessed during the initial resuscitation of 30 ml/kg of fluid, to evaluate the feasibility of performing a larger prospective RCT of SV-guided resuscitation in patients who undergo a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness to help guide fluid administration. This study is a prospective feasibility study. Patients will be evaluated by the Emergency Room team for Inclusion/Exclusion criteria. If the patient is found to fit the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, then the fully non-invasive Starling monitor will be applied to the patient and the patient's hemodynamic data will be prospectively collected during the initial fluid resuscitation.

Interventions

DEVICEStarling SV

The Starling SV will monitor the change in hemodynamic variables (i.e. CO, SV, HR, SV) as assessed during the initial fluid resuscitation in individuals with hypotension related to infection.
