System and method for monitoring cardiac output with substantially improved accuracy and precision

摘要

A computerized method for monitoring cardiac output of a subject by a processor executing the method, the method comprising the steps of:determining first values of cardiac output of the subject for a first period of time using respective different cardiac output measurement methods having respective first measurement errors; andcombining the determined first values of cardiac output to determine a second value of cardiac output of the subject for the first period of time, such that the second value of cardiac output has a second measurement error that is less than any of the first measurement errors; andat least one of storing, outputting, and displaying data representing the determined second value of cardiac output of the subject.
