  Randomized Controlled Trial

  Assessment of Changes in Hemodynamics and Intrathoracic Fluid Using Electrical Cardiometry During Autologous Blood Harvest.

  To evaluate the effect of autologous blood harvest (ABH)-induced volume shifts using electrical cardiometry (EC) in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension secondary to left heart disease. ⋯ In addition to its proven role in blood conservation, therapeutic benefits derived from ABH include decongestion of volume-loaded patients, decrease in TFC, and improved gas exchange. EC tracks beat-to-beat fluid and hemodynamic fluctuations during ABH and helps in the execution of an early patient-specific, goal-directed therapy, allowing for its safe implementation in patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease.
