Cardiac output monitoring using an automatic arm cuff device in surgical patients
Authors' conclusion
These initial findings suggest potential for convenient CO monitoring using an automatic arm cuff device in surgical patients.
Study context
- Population
- Liver transplant and cardiac surgery patientsfrom 24 liver transplant and 10 cardiac surgery patients · liver transplant 24 · cardiac surgery 10
- Participants
- 191 measurement sets participants
- Comparison
- Arm cuff-based cardiac output (CO) and pulse contour analysis against reference CO from pulmonary artery catheter bolus thermodilution
- Outcome
- Agreement with reference CO
