Abstract

Cardiac output (CO) monitoring can be useful in high-risk patients during one-lung ventilation (OLV), but it is unclear whether thermodilution-derived CO monitoring is valid during OLV. Therefore, we compared pulmonary artery (CO(PATD)) and transcardiopulmonary thermodilution (CO(TPTD)) with an experimental reference in a porcine model.
