Cross-comparison of cardiac output trending accuracy of LiDCO PiCCO FloTrac and pulmonary artery catheters

摘要

IntroductionAlthough less invasive than pulmonary artery catheters (PACs), arterial pulse pressure analysis techniques for estimating cardiac output (CO) have not been simultaneously compared to PAC bolus thermodilution CO (COtd) or continuous CO (CCO) devices.
