Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in response of cardiac output (*CO) during a CPET, measured with ICG (by Physioflow), between pregnant and non-pregnant women. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in (response of) hemodynamic parameters, ventilation parameters and aerobic capacity during and after a CPET (measured with ICG, breath-by-breath analysis, a finger prick blood sampling and a pulse oximeter) between pregnant women and non-pregnant women. The parameters that will be measured or calculated are: - Heart rate - Blood pressure - Stroke volume - Left cardiac function - Systemic vascular resistance - Velocity index - Sensitivity index submaximal (VO2 / stroke volume index) - Oxygen saturation - Gas exchange (VO2 and VCO2) - PetCO2 (End Tidal CO2) - EqCO2 (Equivalent CO2) - Anaerobic treshold - Lactate level in capillary blood | — |
