Non-invasive Continuous Hemodynamic Monitoring in Acute Brain Injury
University of Chicago
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to explore the relationship of heart function with the course and outcomes after traumatic brain injuries and nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The goal is to explore association between routinely collected hemodynamic and brain monitoring data. Participants already taking intervention A as part of their regular medical care and the investigators will follow up with participants 6 months after discharging the hospital.
Description
This is a prospective observational study collecting data produced as part of standard routine clinical care and the study team will collect the data from Starling Monitor and subject medical record. Adult patients undergoing hemodynamic monitoring with the Starling monitor as part of their standard of care will be considered as a candidate for the study. Patients will only be included in this study if they agree to take part in the data collection. If the patient declines participation, they will still undergo hemodynamic monitoring with the Starling hemodynamic monitor, but their clinical an…
