Abiomed Impella RT-DAQ - Observational Study

Abiomed IMPELLA-RT-DAQ - Impella Real Time Data AcQuisition

Abiomed IMPELLA-RT-DAQ - Impella Real Time Data AcQuisition

The objective of this study is to develop algorithms for determining the cardiac output through the synchronous acquisition of hemodynamic data from the pulmonary artery catheter or other pressure sensors and Impella using a network module, which can replace invasive hemodynamic monitoring in the future.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Ongoing or planned intensive care management with Impella support

2. Presence or planned placement of a cardiac output measurement

   1. Preferentially pulmonary catheter (including cardiac output (CO) preferred as continuous measurement)
   2. Other means of discontinuous CO measurement incl. echocardiography, other thermodilution methods

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Age < 18 years
2. Pregnancy
3. Anticipated support duration <24 h
