Comparative Study
The diagnostic accuracy of estimated continuous cardiac output compared with transthoracic echocardiography.
Estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) is a new and noninvasive cardiac output (CO) monitoring device using pulse wave transit time. The aim of this study was to assess rapid changes in CO using esCCO (ΔCOesCCO) without invasive calibration and to compare the results with those using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (ΔCOTTE). ⋯ Estimated continuous cardiac output without external calibration seems unable to assess rapid changes in CO following cardiac surgery and was not interchangeable with transthoracic Doppler echocardiography.
