Ultrasound-Calibrated Pulse Contour Cardiac Output Monitoring: Value and Accuracy in Hemodynamic Care

3 novembre 2026 aggiornato da: Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Accuracy and Decision-Making Value of Ultrasound-Calibrated Pulse Contour Cardiac Output Monitoring for Hemodynamic Management in Critically Ill Patients Compared With PiCCO

This is a single-center prospective clinical study in the intensive care unit (ICU). Thirty adult patients with sepsis requiring hemodynamic monitoring and fluid resuscitation will be enrolled. All participants will undergo two hemodynamic monitoring modalities simultaneously: pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) (reference standard) and arterial pulse contour cardiac output (APCO, ultrasound-calibrated pulse-contour cardiac output). The study aims to evaluate the consistency of clinical decision-making for fluid resuscitation guided by APCO compared with PiCCO, and to verify the accuracy of cardiac output (CO) measured by APCO. No investigational drugs will be administered. A standardized fluid challenge will be performed based on clinical indications. Hemodynamic parameters, laboratory results, and adverse events will be collected throughout the ICU stay.

Descrizione dettagliata

Accurate hemodynamic assessment and fluid management are critical for septic patients in ICU. PiCCO using transpulmonary thermodilution is widely regarded as reference standard for cardiac output measurement, but it has limitations including high cost and potential catheter-related complications. APCO combines transthoracic echocardiography calibration with radial-artery pulse contour analysis, which may provide continuous cardiac output monitoring with lower complication risks.

In this prospective self-controlled study, 30 eligible adult sepsis patients fulfilling Sepsis-3 criteria will be recruited at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Each subject will undergo concurrent PiCCO and APCO measurements. Study visits include baseline screening (V1), dynamic monitoring when fluid infusion indication appears (V2), post-resuscitation assessment (V3), and follow-up until PiCCO catheter removal (V4). 500-mL crystalloid fluid challenge over 15 minutes will be conducted for patients with positive fluid responsiveness assessed by passive leg-raising test. Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume index (SVI) and other hemodynamic variables will be recorded synchronously after each fluid challenge. The primary endpoint is consistency of fluid-resuscitation clinical decisions between APCO and PiCCO, assessed by overall agreement rate and Kappa statistics. Secondary endpoints include bias, percentage error, Bland-Altman limits of agreement and correlation of CO values between two techniques. Safety outcomes include incidence of adverse events and device-related complications. Statistical analyses will be performed using SPSS and R software.

Popolazione di studio

Adult critically ill patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit, who require hemodynamic monitoring with PiCCO and APCO for fluid resuscitation and volume assessment.

Descrizione

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥18 years, admitted to the intensive care unit;
  2. Diagnosed with sepsis according to Sepsis-3 criteria: suspected or confirmed infection with an acute increase in SOFA score ≥2 points from baseline;
  3. Requiring hemodynamic monitoring for volume assessment and fluid resuscitation due to sepsis;
  4. Successfully inserted with central venous catheter and radial arterial catheter, meeting the technical requirements for PiCCO and APCO measurements;
  5. Informed consent signed by the patient or legal surrogate.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Severe arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia) precluding pulse contour analysis;
  2. Abnormal arterial access site (e.g., severe radial artery disease, arterial malformation) compromising the quality of invasive blood pressure measurement;
  3. Contraindications to ultrasound examination (e.g., severe thoracic deformity, massive pleural effusion, large intrathoracic space-occupying lesion) that prevents acquisition of clear ultrasound images;
  4. Contraindications for PiCCO monitoring (e.g., hemorrhagic disorders, aortic aneurysm, large-vessel vasculitis, pulmonary embolism, during extracorporeal circulation);
  5. Expected ICU stay ≤ 48 hours;
  6. Any other conditions judged unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.
