Abstract:The gold standard methods to measure cardiac output (CO) are invasive and expose the patient to high risks of various complications. The aim of this study is to assess an innovative non-invasive method for CO monitoring in mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery and its agreement with values obtained by thermodilution technique. Continuous monitoring of respiratory gas concentrations and airflow allows the estimation of CO through a newly developed algorithm derived from a modified version of th… Show more
