ABSTRACT
This study investigated the use of a wearable ring made of polyvinylidene fluoride film to identify a low cardiac index (≤2 L/min). The waveform generated by the ring contains patterns that may be indicative of low blood pressure and/or high vascular resistance, both of which are markers of a low cardiac index. In particular, the waveform contains reflection waves whose timing and amplitude are correlated with pulse travel time and vascular resistance, respectively. Hence, the pattern of the waveform is expected to vary in response to changes in blood pressure and vascular resistance. By analyzing the morphology of the waveform, our aim was to create a tool to identify patients with low cardiac index. This was done using a convolutional neural network which was trained on data from animal models. The model was then tested on waveforms that were collected from patients undergoing pulmonary artery catheterization. The results indicate high accuracy in classifying patients with a low cardiac index, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristics and precision-recall curves of 0.88 and 0.71, respectively.
