Utility of NICaS Non-Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19
Authors: Wisam Zabeeda, Jonah Benjamin Cohen, Anat Reiner Benaim, Shiri Zarour, Yael Lichter, Idit Matot, Or Goren Conclusion: Non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring via the NICaS device is simple and effective in evaluating critically ill patients with COVID-19 and may help guide clinical management via remote monitoring. Controlling tachycardia may help ensure adequate oxygen supply-demand ratio. A […]
Comparison of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring by bioimpedance and echocardiography in cardiac intensive care unit patients
Authors:N. Kofman; A.;A. Rotmansh; E. Kalmanovich Conclusion: Even in the hands of cardiologists trained in performing echocardiographic hemodynamic evaluations, the measurement consistency is relatively low. Evaluation done by NICaS provides a much closer result correlation. Monitoring using the NICaS system can give an excellent noninvasive solution for hemodynamic assessment. The abstract can be provided upon […]
Lack of Concordance Between Parameters Defining Cardiogenic Shock in Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Triston Eastman, Mirna Ragheb, Mullein Thorleifson, Brett Hiebert, Kunal Minhas, Malek Kass, Amir Ravandi and Ashish Shah Conclusion: Our study is the first to describe poor congruity between the current parameters defining CS. Such limitations raise the need to objectively define CS so that these high-risk patients can be identified early in the course […]
Accurate noninvasive continuous monitoring of cardiac output by whole body electrical bioimpedance
Authors: Gad Cotter , Yaron Moshkovitz, Edo Kaluski, Amram J Cohen, Hilton Miller, Daniel Goor, Zvi Vered The results of the study indicate that the measurements taken by the NICaS are accurate in rapid, noninvasive measurement and follow-up of CO in a wide range of cardiac clinical situations.

The Clinical Research of NICaS for Monitoring Changes of Cardiac Function in Patients with Sepsis (two part study – part 1)
Authors: Zhu Yan Second Military Medical University CONCLUSION: NICaS can measure the cardiac output and stroke volume in sepsis patients as accurate as ultrasonic Cardiogram, and the exclusive GGI figure NICaS provides has a positive correlation with EF of Ultrasonic Cardiogram but without significance, which may be attributed to the fact that the GGI is […]
Intradialytic exercise increases cardiac power index
Authors: Brent Momb, Samuel Arlington Headley, Tracey Matthews, Michael J. Germain In conclusion, exercise during dialysis may decrease the likelihood of experiencing ischemic or hypotensive events by enhancing myocardial perfusion through increasing CPI and ̇Q. For the full article click here
Whole-body bioimpedance monitoring for outpatient chronic heart failure follow up
Authors: Yusuke Tanino, Junya Shite, Oscar L Paredes, Toshiro Shinke, Daisuke Ogasawara, Takahiro Sawada, Hiroyuki Kawamori, Naoki Miyoshi, Hiroki Kato, Naoki Yoshino, Ken-ichi Hirata Conclusion: Hemodynamic parameters derived by NICaS are applicable for the non-invasive assessment of cardiac function in outpatient CHF follow-up.

Whole-body electrical bio-impendance is accurate in non invasive determination of cardiac output: A thermodilution controlled, prospective, double blind evaluation.
Authors: Guillermo Torre-Amione, Olga Milo, Edo Kaluski, Zvi Vered, Gad Cotter NICaS is a novel accurate noninvasive method for CO determination. The results of this study suggest that the NICaS might be more accurate than thermodilution for CO determination due to the tendency of thermodilution to underestimate CO when high and overestimate it when low. […]
The reliability of noninvasive cardiac system hemodynamic monitoring in the cardiac intensive care patient requiring mechanical circulatory support
Authors: Guido Tavazzi, Policlinico San Matteo Pavia Fondazione, A Fernandez-Gasalla, Ana Barradas-Pires, Yoseph Mebrate Conclusion: Both Pearson correlation and linear regression demonstrated an excellent correlation between CO measured by echo and the NICaS. NICaS looks to be a reliable noninvasive CO monitoring in ICU patients. For the full article click here
A noninvasive stroke volume monitoring for early detection of minimal blood loss: A pilot study
Authors: Danny Epstein, Ariel Guinzburg , Saar Sharon , Shai Kiso , Yuval Glick , Erez Marcusohn , Yehuda Daniel Glass , Asaf Miller , Sa’ar Minha , Ariel Furer Conclusion: Our study suggests that continuous monitoring of SV may be more useful than either the HR, BP, or shock index in identifying patients with […]
