Purpose The aim of this review was to provide a meta-analysis of all five of the most popular
systems for arterial pulse contour analysis compared with pulmonary artery thermodilution …

Background Lithium dilution cardiac output by LiDCO™ plus (LiDCO, Cambridge, UK) is a
validated methodology for measuring cardiac output. It is used to calibrate a pulse pressure …

Cardiac output (CO) is the main determinant of oxygen delivery and physical examination,
and vital signs alone often fail to reflect significant derangements in CO [1]. Because of the …

Background Several techniques have been discussed as alternatives to the intermittent
bolus thermodilution cardiac output (CO PAC) measurement by the pulmonary artery …

Insertion of a central venous catheter and an arterial catheter would be indicated in
hemodynamically unstable or severely hypoxic patients in critical care units. In this setting …

There are a number of companies that market devices for the monitoring of cardiac output
from the arterial pressure waveform. These devices all share a number of characteristics that …

Materials and methods We performed four consecutive lithium dilution cardiac output
determinations on 70 critically ill patients requiring haemodynamic monitoring. The heart …

Résumé Objectif Le but de cette revue était de fournir une méta-analyse des cinq systèmes
les plus connus d'analyse de contour du pouls artériel comparativement à la thermodilution …

fermento inhibitoriai AKS–arterinis kraujo spaudimas ANP–prieširdžių natriuretinis peptidas …

Arterial pressure–based methods of determining cardiac output show great promise for the
care of critically ill patients. Critical care nurses are starting to use these new, less-invasive …
