Abstract

In this study we compared the accuracy of three continuous cardiac output (CCO) measurement methods, with intermittent transcardiopulmonary thermodilution (TPTD-CO) as the gold standard. The three studied CCO measurement methods were: uncalibrated peripheral pulse contour measurement (FCCO), calibrated central pulse contour measurement (PCCO), and CCO obtained by indirect Fick principle (NCCO).
