5.5 Contractility
CFI = CO x 1000 / GEDV
where CFI = Cardiac Function Index (1/min)
CO = Cardiac Output (l/min)
GEDV = Global End-Diastolic Volume (ml)
GEF = 4 x SV / GEDV
where GEF = Global Ejection Fraction (%)
SV = Stroke Volume (ml)
GEDV = Global End-Diastolic Volume (ml)
5.6 Organ Function
EVLW = ITTV – ITBV
where EVLW = Extravascular Lung Water (ml)
ITTV = Intrathoracic Thermal Volume (ml)
ITBV = Intrathoracic Blood Volume (ml)
ELWI = EVLW / PBW
where ELWI = Extravascular Lung Water Index (ml/kg)
EVLW = Extravascular Lung Water (ml)
PBW = Predicted Body Weight (kg)
CPO = PCCO x MAP x 0.0022
where CPO = Cardiac Power Output (W)
PCCO = Continuous Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (l/min)
MAP = Mean Arterial Pressure (mmHg)
CPI = PCCI x MAP x 0.0022
where CPI = Cardiac Power Index (W/m
2
)
PCCI = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output Index (l/min/m
2
)
MAP = Mean Arterial Pressure (mmHg)
PVPI = EVLW / PBV
where PVPI = Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (no unit)
EVLW = Extravascular Lung Water (ml)
PBV = Pulmonary Blood Volume (ml) (ITBV - GEDV)
