Precision of the transpulmonary thermodilution measurements [PDF]
Abstract Introduction We wanted to determine the number of cold bolus injections that are necessary for achieving an acceptable level of precision for measuring cardiac index (CI), indexed global end-diastolic volume (GEDVi) and indexed extravascular lung water (EVLWi) by transpulmonary thermodilution.

A comparison of third-generation semi-invasive arterial waveform analysis with thermodilution in patients undergoing coronary surgery [PDF]
Uncalibrated semi-invasive continous monitoring of cardiac index (CI) has recently gained increasing interest. The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of CI determination based on arterial waveform analysis with transpulmonary ...

Aortic volume determines global end-diastolic volume measured by transpulmonary thermodilution [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) measured by transpulmonary thermodilution is regarded as indicator of cardiac preload. A bolus of cold saline injected in a central vein travels through the heart and lung, but also the aorta until ...

Dynamic and volumetric variables reliably predict fluid responsiveness in a porcine model with pleural effusion [PDF]
Background: The ability of stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV) and global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness in presence of pleural effusion is unknown.

Assessment of pulmonary edema: principles and practice [PDF]
Pulmonary edema increasingly is recognized as a perioperative complication affecting outcome. Several risk factors have been identified, including those of cardiogenic origin, such as heart failure or excessive fluid administration, and those related to ...

Thermodilution vs estimated Fick cardiac output measurement in an elderly cohort of patients: A single-centre experience [PDF]
AIMS: Patients referred to the cath-lab are an increasingly elderly population. Thermodilution (TD, gold standard) and the estimated Fick method (eFM) are interchangeably used in the clinical routine to measure cardiac output (CO).

Behaviour and stability of thermodilution signals in a closed extracorporeal circuit: a bench study. [PDF]
Thermodilution is the gold standard for cardiac output measurement in critically ill patients. Its application in extracorporeal therapy is limited, as a portion of the thermal indicator is drawn into the extracorporeal circuit.

Bench-to-bedside review: The importance of the precision of the reference technique in method comparison studies - with specific reference to the measurement of cardiac output [PDF]
Bland-Altman analysis is used for assessing agreement between two measurements of the same clinical variable. In the field of cardiac output monitoring, its results, in terms of bias and limits of agreement, are often difficult to interpret, leading ...
