Longitudinal Validation of Right Ventricular Pressure Monitoring for the Assessment of Right Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in a Large Animal Ischemic Model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CONTEXT: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care and cardiac surgery. Early detection of RV dysfunction may be facilitated by continuous monitoring of RV waveform obtained from a pulmonary artery catheter. The objective is to evaluate the extent to which RV pressure monitoring can detect changes in RV systolic performance assess by RV end-systolic elastance (Ees) following the development of an acute RV ischemic in a porcine model. HYPOTHESIS: RV pressure monitoring can detect changes in RV systolic performance assess by RV Ees following the development of an acute RV ischemic model. METHODS AND MODELS: Acute ischemic RV dysfunction was induced by progressive embolization of microsphere in the right coronary artery to mimic RV dysfunction clinically experienced during cardiopulmonary bypass separation caused by air microemboli. RV hemodynamic performance was assessed using RV pressure waveform-derived parameters and RV Ees obtained using a conductance catheter during inferior vena cava occlusions. RESULTS: Acute ischemia resulted in a significant reduction in RV Ees from 0.26 mm Hg/mL (interquartile range, 0.16–0.32 mm Hg/mL) to 0.14 mm Hg/mL (0.11–0.19 mm Hg/mL; p < 0.010), cardiac output from 6.3 L/min (5.7–7 L/min) to 4.5 (3.9–5.2 L/min; p = 0.007), mean systemic arterial pressure from 72 mm Hg (66–74 mm Hg) to 51 mm Hg (46–56 mm Hg; p < 0.001), and mixed venous oxygen saturation from 65% (57–72%) to 41% (35–45%; p < 0.001). Linear mixed-effect model analysis was used to assess the relationship between Ees and RV pressure-derived parameters. The reduction in RV Ees best correlated with a reduction in RV maximum first derivative of pressure during isovolumetric contraction (dP/dtmax) and single-beat RV Ees. Adjusting RV dP/dtmax for heart rate resulted in an improved surrogate of RV Ees. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Stepwise decreases in RV Ees during acute ischemic RV dysfunction were accurately tracked by RV dP/dtmax derived from the RV pressure waveform.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
