Correlation of Cardiac Output Estimation by Analysis of Arterial Blood Pressure Waveforms versus Continuous Pulmonary Artery Thermodilution in Post Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit Patients
Abstract:Purpose
We sought to assess agreement of cardiac output estimation between continuous pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) guided thermodilution (CO-CTD) and a novel method that performs an analysis of multiple beats of the arterial blood pressure waveform (CO-MBA) in post-operative cardiac surgery patients.
Methods
PAC obtained CO-CTD measurements were compared with CO-MBA measurements from analysis of arterial blood pressure waveforms using the Argos monitor (Retia Medical; Valhalla, NY, USA), in prospectively … Show more
