Transpulmonary thermodilution for hemodynamic measurements in severely burned children
Abstract
IntroductionMonitoring of hemodynamic and volumetric parameters after severe burns is of critical importance. Pulmonary artery catheters, however, have been associated with many risks. Our aim was to show the feasibility of continuous monitoring with minimally invasive transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) in severely burned pediatric patients.MethodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted in patients with severe burns over 40% of the total …
