    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular physiology
    • Medical instrumentation
    • Diagnostic imaging

    Context:

    • Continuous cardiac output monitoring is crucial in critical care.
    • Thermodilution methods are invasive and burdensome for patients.
    • A less invasive method for monitoring blood flow is needed.

    Purpose:

    • To develop and describe a novel intra-oesophageal Doppler echo probe.
    • To measure descending aortic blood flow non-invasively.
    • To provide a more practical and patient-friendly alternative to thermodilution.

    Summary:

    • A specially designed intra-oesophageal Doppler echo probe combines A-scan for vessel diameter and continuous wave velocimetry for blood velocity.
    • The probe utilizes three ultrasonic transducers within a flexible catheter, with a water-inflated balloon for optimal esophageal wall coupling.
