20.1 Overview
Impedance cardiography (ICG) monitoring provides hemodynamic parameters based on the
measurement of thoracic electrical bio-impedance. With the V-ICG module, the monitor
determines hemodynamic parameters as well as indexed versions of those parameters, through
which you can assess a patient’s hemodynamic status and ventricular function. The user can view
the ICG measurement result via connected CMS.
The V-ICG module and the ICG patient cable provide the monitor with an ICG waveform and the
following numerics:
–
HR (heart rate)
–
SV (stroke volume)
–
SVRI (systemic vascular resistance index)
–
SI (stroke index)
–
C.O. (cardiac output)
–
TFC (thoracic fluid content)
–
SVR (systemic vascular resistance)
–
QI (quality indicator)
–
DO
2
I (oxygen delivery index)
–
CI (cardiac index)
