Overview

Prospective observational study to assess association between time in target Flowtrac/EV1000 data with clinical outcomes in cardiac surgery patients (Connected Insights). The new study application will investigate a minimally invasive device (Flotrac sensor with EV1000 clinical platform) from Edwards Life Science in cardiac surgery patients.  The EV1000 device is already being used at Tufts Medical Center in the operating rooms and ICUs to guide fluid resuscitation and medicine administration in critically ill patients.
