The LiDCO Hemodynamic Monitoring System provides beat-to-beat advanced hemodynamic monitoring to support informed decision-making in high-acuity care areas such as the Operating Room.
Uses already existing arterial line and blood pressure transducer to monitor hemodynamic parameters
PulseCO™ algorithm converts beat-to-beat blood pressure into its constituent parts, flow and resistance, scaled to each patient's age, height, and weight
Proven to be reliable on patients on vasoactive drugs
Parameters and Indicators
The beat–to–beat parameters displayed by the LiDCO monitor provide immediate feedback on a patient’s fluid and hemodynamic status.
The LiDCO monitor provides the following parameters:
Stroke Volume (SV): The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction
Cardiac Output (CO): The amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute, calculated by multiplying the stroke volume by the patient’s heart rate
Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR): Reflects the resistance to flow and is calculated as the quotient of pressure and cardiac output
Oxygen Delivery (DO2): The amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues, calculated as the product of cardiac output and oxygen concentration
Stroke Volume Variation (SVV): A dynamic variable that can predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients, SVV is the variation in stroke volume across at least one respiratory cycle
Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV): Another dynamic variable that can predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients, PPV is the variation in arterial pulse pressure across at least one respiratory cycle
