Noninvasive cardiac output monitoring using bioreactance-based technique in pediatric patients with or without ventricular septal defect during anesthesia: in comparison with echocardiography

摘要

BackgroundWe evaluated the use of bioreactance-based noninvasive cardiac output (CO) monitoring technique (NICOM, CONICOM) in pediatric patients with or without ventricular septal defect (VSD) during anesthesia induction to determine its agreement with the measurements assessed by echocardiography (echo, COECHO).
