The present study was performed to test a new software version of the FloTrac/Vigileo using head-up-head-down tilting in post-cardiac surgery patients. Impressive improvements in Bland and Altman limits of agreement from 37.5% to 21.6% were recorded. The results, however could be attributed to a failure to produce a wide enough range of test circulatory conditions. A more rigorous test of performance is needed before any real conclusion concerning use of the FloTrac/Vigileo in clinical practice can be made.
本研究旨在通过让心脏手术后患者进行头高脚低和头低脚高倾斜试验,来测试FloTrac/Vigileo的一个新软件版本。布兰德-奥特曼一致性界限从37.5%显著改善至21.6%。然而,这些结果可能归因于未能产生足够广泛的测试循环条件。在就FloTrac/Vigileo在临床实践中的使用得出任何实际结论之前,需要对其性能进行更严格的测试。
