Understanding cardiac output [PDF]
Critical Care, 2008 Cardiac output is the amount of blood the heart pumps in 1 minute, and it is dependent on the heart rate, contractility, preload, and afterload. Understanding of the applicability and practical relevance of each of these four components is important when

Effect of Exercise-Induced Reductions in Blood Volume on Cardiac Output and Oxygen Transport Capacity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 We wanted to demonstrate the relationship between blood volume, cardiac size, cardiac output and maximum oxygen uptake (V.O2max) and to quantify blood volume shifts during exercise and their impact on oxygen transport.

Differences in Direct Fick and Thermodilution Measurements of Cardiac Output: Impact on Pulmonary Hypertension Classification [PDF]
Pulmonary CirculationDirect Fick (DF) and bolus thermodilution (TD) are endorsed by pulmonary hypertension (PH) guidelines to measure cardiac output. In contemporary practice, agreement between methods is unknown, as are the diagnostic consequences of disagreement. We sought

Cardiac output and the pharmacology of general anesthetics: a narrative review
Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023 The relationship between cardiac output and anesthetic drugs is important to anesthesiologists, since cardiac output determines the speed with which a drug infused into the bloodstream reaches its target and the intensity of the drug’s effect.
