Accuracy of Noninvasive Estimated Continuous Cardiac Output (esCCO) Compared to Thermodilution Cardiac Output: A Pilot Study in Cardiac Patients.
To compare the noninvasive estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO), device-derived cardiac output (CO) to simultaneous pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) thermodilution (TD) CO. ⋯ esCCO is easy to use and provides continuous CO measurements, but has wide limits of agreement and large percentage errors with a consistently positive bias in comparison to TD.
