Abstract
Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive method of continuous haemodynamic monitoring of cardiac parameters which might be a useful tool in the care of critically ill patients. The aim of this paper was to verify whether impedance cardiography is suitable for monitoring haemodynamic parameters in patients after ischaemic brain stroke. It also investigated whether the results obtained with this method could yield additional data helpful for hypervolemic therapy optimization. haemodynamic data from eight adult patients (5 male and 3 female, age: 33-86 yrs) were included in the analysis. Cardiac parameters were analysed for set times during the time course of the intravenous infusion: at the very beginning and at the end of each quarter. It was concluded that haemodynamic monitoring of cardiac parameters using impedance cardiography might bring benefits during treatment of patients with ischaemic brain stroke.
