In a neonatal intensive care unit, severe children with unstable hemodynamics such as neonatal shock, heart failure, severe asphyxia and the like are often encountered, and clinicians are often difficult to objectively evaluate the hemodynamics state of the critically ill children according to the clinical manifestations of the critically ill children. Similarly, it is difficult for physicians to objectively evaluate hemodynamic status based on their clinical manifestations for patients in anesthesia surgery and patients at high risk of remaining unconscious after surgery. The change of the hemodynamic parameters means that the condition of a patient is abnormal, if a doctor cannot take measures in time, the patient often dies, and even if the doctor survives the rescue, the prognosis effect is very poor due to the fact that the doctor cannot take the measures in time. Therefore, for critically ill patients, elderly patients or neonates undergoing general anesthesia surgery, it is necessary to enhance hemodynamic management, improve safety of post-operative monitoring and monitoring during anesthesia surgery, and to feed back the patient's condition to the doctor in time.
Currently, the following methods are often used in clinical monitoring of hemodynamics: (1) the thermodilution method is adopted to measure the heart discharge volume value of a patient, but the method needs to insert a floating catheter into the heart through a puncture method at the position of a superior vena cava or a right atrium, and then physiological saline with lower temperature is continuously injected into the heart of the patient, so that the condition of the patient is aggravated, and certain limitations exist; (2) the heart discharge capacity is monitored by adopting an external Doppler ultrasound method, but an external B-ultrasonic probe is influenced by lung tissues and a sternum, so that very high requirements are put on a doctor's detection method, and a novice doctor often cannot obtain effective heart discharge capacity data; (3) the use of transesophageal ultrasound probes for cardiac output monitoring requires the patient to remain stationary or movement of the patient can cause measurement errors, and transesophageal ultrasound probes are very irritating to the patient and are not used by weak and pediatric patients.
