Background QT prolongation increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmia and is common among critically ill patients. The gold standard for QT measurement is electrocardiography. Automated measurement of corrected QT (QTc) by cardiac telemetry has been developed, but this method has not been compared with electrocardiography in critically ill patients. Objective To compare the diagnostic performance of QTc values obtained with cardiac telemetry versus electrocardiography. Methods This prospective observational study included patients admitted to intensive care who had an electrocardiogram ordered simultaneously with cardiac telemetry. Demographic data and QTc determined by electrocardiography and telemetry were recorded. Bland-Altman analysis was done, and correlation coefficient and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) coefficient were calculated. Results Fifty-one data points were obtained from 43 patients (65% men). Bland-Altman analysis revealed poor agreement between telemetry and electrocardiography and evidence of fixed and proportional bias. Area under the ROC curve for QTc determined by telemetry was 0.9 (P < .001) for a definition of prolonged QT as QTc ≥ 450 milliseconds in electrocardiography (sensitivity, 88.89%; specificity, 83.33%; cutoff of 464 milliseconds used). Correlation between the 2 methods was only moderate (r = 0.6, P < .001). Conclusions QTc determination by telemetry has poor agreement and moderate correlation with electrocardiography. However, telemetry has an acceptable area under the curve in ROC analysis with tolerable sensitivity and specificity depending on the cutoff used to define prolonged QT. Cardiac telemetry should be used with caution in critically ill patients.

Abstract Background: To compare safety and clinical efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ultrasound with pulse index continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) for monitoring critically ill patients.Methods: Patients who were admitted to our hospital from April to June 2020 were recruited. PiCCO was employed to monitor cardiac output (CO) and extravascular lung water index (ELWI). Simultaneously, an AI-powered ultrasound was used to automatically monitor CO and the left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT-VTI), and Lung ultrasound B line.Results: A total of 41 patients were enrolled, the male/female ratio was 26:15, and the patients’ median age was 73.6±8.85 years old. There was no significant difference between PiCCO and AI-powered ultrasound in monitoring of CO (t = 1.01, P = 0.316), and the correlation between these two techniques was significant (r=0.911; 95% confidence interval (CI): [0.82; 0.96]; P < 0.001). Similarly, the correlation between lung ultrasound and ELWI was significant r=0.770 (95%CI: [0.58; 0.88]; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Clinical management of critically ill patients can be achieved via monitoring techniques, such as PICCO and AI-powered ultrasound.
