A preliminary Pulsatile Flow Bench validation of the REF-1 Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction (RVEF) computer and catheter system was performed to determine the accuracy of the current REF-1 system. These results reflect the accuracy of the current REF-1 system and not the final REF-1 system that w
Determination of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) provides information about global right ventricular function, which may be important for the management of patients with various heart diseases. Right ventricular ejection fraction can be determined by new thermodilution techniques using fa
Eight patients mechanically ventilated for acute respiratory failure were submitted to increasing levels of PEEP, from 0 to 15 cm H2O. Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) and end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) were measured using the fast response thermistor Swan-Ganz catheter. PEEP induced
