interim analysis, closed for additional product development

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of fluid alternations, hemodynamic changes, mechanical ventilation, pharmacologic agents, positional changes, and comorbidities on the Peripheral Intravenous waveform Analysis (PIVA) signal.

Intravascular volume status determination remains elusive. Standard vital sign monitoring, including heart rate and blood pressure, fails to detect intravascular volume depletion and volume overload. Likewise, invasive monitoring is fraught with risk including vascular injury and central line associated infections. As such, a minimally-invasive mechanism to overcome the barriers of standard monitoring to detect volume status derangement, would be highly valuable. The goal of the study is to perform a series of observational feasibility studies in healthy and hospitalized subjects to determine effects of fluid alternations, hemodynamic changes, mechanical ventilation, pharmacologic agents, positional changes, and comorbidities on the PIVA signal

Vasoactive and Inotropic Agents

Inclusion Criteria:

• Hospitalized patients with central venous access and pulmonary arterial catheter in place, requiring infusion of vasoactive and/or inotropic agents; Age >=18

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who do not have a functional peripheral IV as part of standard care.

Congestive Heart Failure

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients presenting to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with the diagnosis of congestive heart failure and present with symptoms of fluid overload; Age>=18

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cardiac assist devices (intra-aortic balloon pump, ventricular assist devices, and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation), ongoing ACLS, active irregular heart rhythm, patient with restrictive cardiomyopathies (cardiac amyloidosis), or constrictive cardiac disease (constrictive pericarditis or cardiac tamponade), congenital heart disease other than foramen ovale, repaired atrial or ventricular septal defect, female patients who are pregnant or lactating, or patients with known psychiatric or neurological disease who are unable to consent.

Atrial Fibrillation (undergoing elective direct current cardio version)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing direct current cardioversion; Age >=18

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cardiac assist devices (intra-aortic balloon pump, ventricular assist devices, and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation), ongoing ACLS, patients with restrictive cardiomyopathies (cardiac amyloidosis) or constrictive cardiac disease (constrictive pericarditis or cardiac tamponade), congenital heart disease other than foramen ovale, repaired atrial or ventricular septal defect, female patients who are pregnant or lactating, or patients with known psychiatric or neurological disease who are unable to consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cardiac assist devices (intra-aortic balloon pump, ventricular assist devices, and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation), ongoing ACLS, patients with restrictive cardiomyopathies (cardiac amyloidosis) or constrictive cardiac disease (constrictive pericarditis or cardiac tamponade), active irregular cardiac rhythm, congenital heart disease other than foramen ovale , repaired atrial or ventricular septal defect, female patients who are pregnant or lactating, patients with known psychiatric or neurological disease who are unable to consent, or any other medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the patient at undue risk from participation in the trial. Patients who do not have a functional peripheral IV as part of standard care.

The study will enroll patients hospitalized at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
