Methods of Cardiac Output Monitoring
Abstract: Cardiac output is the primary compensatory mechanism that responds to an oxygenation challenge. The determination of blood flow, i.e. cardiac output, is an integral part of hemodynamic monitoring. This is a review on methods of cardiac output monitoring. Minimally invasive cardiac output monitors have varying degrees of ‘invasiveness’ with some being totally non-invasive and others only marginally less invasive than a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC). All minimally invasive cardiac output …
