The repeatability of transpulmonary thermodilution measurements
Recently, less invasive cardiovascular monitoring with transpulmonary thermodilution with the PiCCO system using a central venous line and an arterial thermodilution catheter got increasingly popular. In the last issue of the Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, the opinion was stated that a single cold saline injection is sufficient to ...

Off-pump coronary bypass surgery adversely affects alveolar gas exchange [PDF]
While the introduction of off-pump myocardial revascularization (OPCAB) has initially shown promise in reducing respiratory complications inherent to conventional coronary surgery, it has failed to eradicate them.

Clinical evaluation of the FloTrac/VigileoTM system and two established continuous cardiac output monitoring devices in patients undergoing cardiac surgery†‡ [PDF]
Background Assessment of cardiac output (CO) by the FloTrac/Vigileo™ system may offer a less invasive means of determining the CO than either the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) or the PiCCOplus™ system.

Cardiac output measurement in children: comparison of Aesculon® cardiac output monitor and thermodilution [PDF]
Background We compared cardiac output (CO) measurements by the non-invasive electrical velocimetry (Aesculon®) monitor with the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) thermodilution method in children.

Validation of a new spectrometer for noninvasive measurement of cardiac output [PDF]
Acetylene is a blood-soluble gas and for many years its uptake rate during rebreathing tests has been used to calculate the flow rate of blood through the lungs (normally equal to cardiac output) as well as the volume of lung tissue.

The use of invasive techniques, angiography and indicator dilution, for quantification of valvular regurgitations [PDF]
Angiographic techniques have been used for the quantification of mitral or aortic and rarely tricuspid regurgitation. Mitral or aortic regurgitant volume per beat and the regurgitation fraction (fao and fm, respectively) are obtained from the ...

A practical method of measuring oxygen consumption in children with complex mixing circulations by the use of thermodilution cardiac output studies [PDF]
ObjectiveWe describe a method to measure oxygen consumption (VO2) and pulmonary vascular resistive index (PVRI) based on thermodilution cardiac output in patients with complex mixing circulations.

Simultaneous determination of the stroke volume and the left ventricular residual fraction with the fiberoptic- and thermodilution method [PDF]
Simultaneous measurements of the concentration of dye by a fiberoptic catheter and of the temperature by a thermistor catheter were obtained in dogs. No significant difference for cardiac output and stroke volume was found.

Accuracy of a Novel Approach to Measuring Arterial Thermodilution Cardiac Output During Intra-Aortic Counterpulsation [PDF]
Objective: To assess the agreement between a novel approach of arterial and the pulmonary artery bolus thermodilution for measuring cardiac output in critically ill patients during aortic counterpulsation. Methods: Eighteen male patients aged 37-80years,
