| Abstract: |
OBJECTIVE To assess the agreement of transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) and transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) against direct measurement of main pulmonary artery flow with an ultrasound transit time flow probe (UTF) over a wide range of conditions in anesthetized cats. Additionally, the trending ability of TPTD, TPUD, and esophageal Doppler ultrasonography (EDU) was evaluated against UTF. METHODS 12 purpose-bred cats were used. One cat was used for a pilot study. The cats were instrumented according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Paired measurements were made over a wide range of cardiac output. Agreement was analyzed with Bland-Altman analysis with repeated measures, and trending ability was assessed by 4-quadrant plot and concordance rate. Interchangeable was defined as percentage error less than simplified total error. Acceptable trending was defined as concordance rate > 95%. RESULTS Bias and percentage error were '0.084 L·min-1 and 38.2% for TPTD and -0.041 L·min-1 and 52.9% for TPUD. The concordance rate was 100%, 95.5%, and 64% to 65% for TPTD, TPUD, and EDU, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Both TPTD and TPUD were not interchangeable to UTF. Both TPTD and TPUD provided acceptable trending ability but not EDU. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Transpulmonary thermodilution and TPUD allow detection of the direction of cardiac output changes in anesthetized cats but not EDU. Clinical and research use of these 3 devices warrants careful consideration of the limitations presented in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
