Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bedside cardiac output (CO) measurement is an important part of routine hemodynamic monitoring in the differential diagnosis of circulatory shock and fluid management. Different choices of CO measurement devices are available. The purpose of this review is to review the importance of CO [or stroke volume (SV)] measurement and to discuss the various methods (devices) used in determination of CO. RECENT FINDINGS CO measurement devices can be classified into two types: those use simple physical principles with minimal assumptions, and those predicting CO via mathematical modelling with a number of assumptions. Both have pros and cons, with the former being more accurate but with limited continuous monitoring capability whereas the latter less accurate but usually equipped with continuous monitoring functionality. With frequent updates in mathematical models, research data constantly become outdated in this area. Recent data suggest devices based on mathematical modelling have limited accuracies and poor precisions. SUMMARY Measurement of CO or SV is important in critically ill patients. Most devices have accuracy and reliability issues. The choice of device should depend on the purpose of measurement. For diagnostic purposes, devices based on simple physical principles, especially thermodilution and transthoracic echocardiography are more reliable due to accuracy.

Abstract
Thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) are non-invasive methods to estimate stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO). Thoracic electrical bioimpedance is not in widespread clinical use with reports of inaccurate cardiac output estimation compared to invasive monitors, particularly in non-healthy populations. We explore its use as a trend monitor by comparing it against thoracic echocardiography in fifteen healthy volunteers undergoing two physical challenges designed to vary cardiac output. Of all paired values, 54.6% showed gross trend agreement and only 1.9% showed direct disagreement between the two monitors. Our results show thoracic bioimpedance may have a role as a non-invasive cardiac output trend monitor in healthy volunteer studies.

Nguyen LS, Squara P. Non-Invasive Monitoring of Cardiac Output in Critical Care Medicine. Front Med (Lausanne) 2017; 4:200.

Abstract
Critically ill patients require close hemodynamic monitoring to titrate treatment on a regular basis. It allows administering fluid with parsimony and adjusting inotropes and vasoactive drugs when necessary. Although invasive monitoring is considered as the reference method, non-invasive monitoring presents the obvious advantage of being associated with fewer complications, at the expanse of accuracy, precision, and step-response change. A great many methods and devices are now used over the world, and this article focuses on several of them, providing with a brief review of related underlying physical principles and validation articles analysis. Reviewed methods include electrical bioimpedance and bioreactance, respiratory-derived cardiac output (CO) monitoring technique, pulse wave transit time, ultrasound CO monitoring, multimodal algorithmic estimation, and inductance thoracocardiography. Quality criteria with which devices were reviewed included: accuracy (closeness of agreement between a measurement value and a true value of the measured), precision (closeness of agreement between replicate measurements on the same or similar objects under specified conditions), and step response change (delay between physiological change and its indication). Our conclusion is that the offer of non-invasive monitoring has improved in the past few years, even though further developments are needed to provide clinicians with sufficiently accurate devices for routine use, as alternative to invasive monitoring devices.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) afflicts nearly 6 million Americans, resulting in one million emergency department (ED) visits and over one million annual hospital discharges. An aging population and improved survival from cardiovascular diseases is expected to further increase HF prevalence. Emergency providers play a significant role in the management of patients with acute heart failure (AHF). It is crucial that emergency physicians and other providers involved in early management understand the latest developments in diagnostic testing, therapeutics and alternatives to hospitalization. Further, clinical trials must be conducted in the ED in order to improve the evidence base and drive optimal initial therapy for AHF. Should ongoing and future studies suggest early phenotype-driven therapy improves in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes, ED treatment decisions will need to evolve accordingly. The potential impact of future studies which incorporate risk-stratification into ED disposition decisions cannot be underestimated. Predictive instruments that identify a cohort of patients safe for ED discharge, while simultaneously addressing barriers to successful outpatient management, have the potential to significantly impact quality of life and resource expenditures.

Correlation of cardiac output measured by non-invasive continuous cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) and thermodilution in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. J Anesth 2014; 29:416-420. [PMID: 25381090 PMCID: PMC4488496 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-014-1938-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2013] [Accepted: 10/18/2014] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This observational study was designed to evaluate the clinical value of cardiac output (CO) obtained via bioreactance (NICOM™) as compared with values of CO obtained via thermodilution (using pulmonary artery catheter, Vigilance™) and the thoracic bioimpedance (BioZ.com™), in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. Methods Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I–III patients, aged 38–81 years, scheduled for off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery were enrolled in this study. CO data (NCO, BCO, PCO) were recorded during the operative period at ten time points after stable hemodynamic conditions were achieved. Results The equation of the relationship between the PCO and NCO is PCO = 0.945 × NCO + 0.328 (r = 0.77), and that of PCO and BCO is PCO = 0.965 × BCO + 0.729 (r = 0.63). Furthermore, no statistical difference was found between PCO versus NCO (mean (SD): 4.4 (1.1) versus 4.4 (0.9), p = 0.431). A significant correlation was found between PCO and NCO (r = 0.77, p < 0.001). Correlation was also found between PCO and BCO (r = 0.63, p < 0.001). Conclusions The NICOM device is a safe, convenient, and reliable device for measuring continuous non-invasive cardiac output and cardiac index, and the trends of change in CO during the surgery are similar between NICOM and PAC.

Semi-invasive measurement of cardiac output based on pulse contour: a review and analysis. Can J Anaesth 2014; 61:452-79. [PMID: 24643474 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-014-0135-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2013] [Accepted: 02/18/2014] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review was to provide a meta-analysis of all five of the most popular systems for arterial pulse contour analysis compared with pulmonary artery thermodilution, the established reference method for measuring cardiac output (CO). The five investigated systems are FloTrac/Vigileo(®), PiCCO(®), LiDCO/PulseCO(®), PRAM/MostCare(®), and Modelflow. SOURCE In a comprehensive literature search through MEDLINE(®), Web of Knowledge (v.5.11), and Google Scholar, we identified prospective studies and reviews that compared the pulse contour approach with the reference method (n = 316). Data extracted from the 93 selected studies included range and mean cardiac output, bias, percentage error, software versions, and study population. We performed a pooled weighted analysis of their precision in determining CO in various patient groups and clinical settings. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Results of the majority of studies indicate that the five investigated systems show acceptable accuracy during hemodynamically stable conditions. Forty-three studies provided adequate data for a pooled weighted analysis and resulted in a mean (SD) total pooled bias of -0.28 (1.25) L·min(-1), percentage error of 40%, and a correlation coefficient of r = 0.71. In hemodynamically unstable patients (n = 8), we found a higher percentage error (45%) and bias of -0.54 (1.64) L·min(-1). CONCLUSION During hemodynamic instability, CO measurement based on continuous arterial pulse contour analysis shows only limited agreement with intermittent bolus thermodilution. The calibrated systems seem to deliver more accurate measurements than the auto-calibrated or the non-calibrated systems. For reliable use of these semi-invasive systems, especially for critical therapeutic decisions during hemodynamic disorders, both a strategy for hemodynamic optimization and further technological improvements are necessary.

Abstract
Cardiac output (CO) measurement has long been considered essential to the assessment and guidance of therapeutic decisions in critically ill patients and for patients undergoing certain high-risk surgeries. Despite controversies, complications and inherent errors in measurement, pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) continuous and intermittent bolus techniques of CO measurement continue to be the gold standard. Newer techniques provide less invasive alternatives; however, currently available monitors are unable to provide central circulation pressures or true mixed venous saturations. Esophageal Doppler and pulse contour monitors can predict fluid responsiveness and have been shown to decrease postoperative morbidity. Many minimally invasive techniques continue to suffer from decreased accuracy and reliability under periods of hemodynamic instability, and so few have reached the level of interchangeability with the PAC.

Abstract
Novel COstatus system (Transonic Systems, Inc., NY), based on ultrasound dilution (UD), works off in situ arterial and central venous catheters in pediatric patients to measure cardiac output (CO). The purpose of the present study was to validate CO measurement by UD (COUD) with pulmonary artery (PA) thermodilution (COTD) in a prospective animal study. Ten anesthetized pigs (16-45 kg) were instrumented with pediatric PA, central venous, and peripheral artery catheters. For COUD measurements, normothermic saline (0.5-1.0 ml/kg body weight, up to a maximum of 30 ml) was injected into the venous limb of an arteriovenous loop that was connected between in situ catheters. For COTD measurements, 5-10 ml cold saline was injected into the PA catheter. Sixty-four averaged sets were obtained for comparison. COTD mean was 2.98 ± 1.21 l/min (range 1.33-6.29), and COUD mean was 2.68 ± 1.16 l/min (range 1.33-5.85). This study yielded a correlation r = 0.96, COUD = 0.91*(COTD) - 0.04 l/min; bias was 0.3 l/min with limits of agreement as -0.39 to 0.99 l/min; and the percentage error was 23.73% between the methods. CO measurements by UD agreed well with thermodilution measurements in the pediatric swine model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the exercise capacity of children and adolescents with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) and to evaluate the effects of 6 months of idebenone treatment on exercise capacity. DESIGN Exploratory endpoint in a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of idebenone on a biomarker of oxidative stress. SETTING Exercise physiology laboratory in a single clinical research center. PARTICIPANTS Ambulatory subjects (N=48; age range, 9-17 y) with genetically confirmed FA. INTERVENTION Idebenone administered orally 3 times a day for a total daily dose of approximately 5, 15, and 45 mg/kg or matching placebo for 6 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Peak oxygen consumption per unit time (peak VO(2)) and peak work rate (WR) were measured during incremental exercise testing at baseline and after treatment. Echocardiography and neurologic assessments were also completed before and after treatment. RESULTS Baseline mean peak VO(2) +/- SD was 746+/-246 mL/min (16.2+/-5.8 mL/kg/min), and WR was 40+/-23 W for all subjects. Peak VO(2) and WR were correlated with short guanine-adenine-adenine allele length and neurologic function. Relative left ventricular wall thickness was increased but left ventricular ejection fraction was normal in most subjects; there was no relationship between any exercise and echocardiographic measures. There were no significant changes in mean peak VO(2) or WR after idebenone treatment at any dose level relative to placebo. CONCLUSIONS Exercise capacity in children and adolescents with FA was significantly impaired. The basis for the impairment appears to be multifactorial and correlated to the degree of neurologic impairment. Although idebenone has previously been shown potentially to improve features of FA, idebenone treatment did not increase exercise capacity relative to placebo.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the results of non-invasive blood glycaemia measurements. The blood used in the measurements was calf blood. The measurement method uses an electromagnetic sensor based on eddy currents, which allows the detection of blood glycaemia levels through the variation of the dielectric parameters of the blood. A change in blood glucose concentration causes a variation in the dielectric parameters, in particular conductivity. Detection is only possible at a resonant frequency. The measurements were taken in a static and dynamic state (with and without circulation of blood). The blood is inside a plastic tube placed within the sensor and is surrounded by gelatine, which simulates muscular tissue. The plastic tube simulates the vein where blood circulation occurs. The in vitro results in both cases (static and dynamic) are provided. Under unfavourable conditions we can detect a change of +/- 2 g/l of glucose. We present and discuss these results.

Abstract
Although cardiac output (CO) monitoring is usually only used in intensive care units (ICUs) and operating rooms, there is increasing evidence that CO should be determined and optimized as early as possible, even before admission to the ICU, in the care of hemodynamically compromised patients. A variety of different minimally or noninvasive CO determination techniques have been developed, but not all of them are suitable for early hemodynamic monitoring outside the ICU. In this review, the different available methods for CO monitoring are presented and their potential for early hemodynamic assessment is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) as a method of measuring cardiac output (CO) is being explored increasingly over the last two decades, as a non-invasive alternative to the pulmonary artery catheter. The objective of this study was to establish normative data for measurement of CO by TEB and define the effect of age and gender on CO. METHOD Stroke volume (SV) of 397 normal individuals (203 men, 194 women) in the age range of 10-77 years was determined using Kubisek and Bernstein formulae by TEB method. Derived cardiac parameters including CO, cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance and resistance index were calculated and analyzed. RESULTS We found significant difference in CO among age groups and between gender. CO between Kubicek formula and Bernstein formula correlated well, but their means differed significantly. Cardiac indices peak in the third and seventh decade and were comparable between genders. CONCLUSION A comprehensive data set of normalized values expressed as 95% confidence interval and mean +/- SD in different age groups and different gender was possible for cardiac parameters using TEB.

Abstract
Conventional thermodilution cardiac output (CO) monitoring is limited mainly to intensive care units and operating rooms because it requires the use of invasive techniques. To reduce the potential for complications and to broaden the applicability of hemodynamic monitoring, noninvasive methods for CO determination are being sought. Applanation tonometry allows noninvasive CO estimation through pulse contour analysis, but the method has not been evaluated in critically ill patients. We therefore performed noninvasive radial artery applanation tonometry in 49 critically ill medical intensive care unit patients and compared CO estimates to invasive CO measurements obtained using a pulmonary artery catheter or the PiCCO transpulmonary thermodilution system. One-hundred-sixteen measurements were performed, and patients were receiving vasopressor support during 78 measurements. When the data were analyzed with bias and precision statistics, a large bias of 2.03 L x min(-1) x m(-2) and a high percentage error of 85% were found between the invasive measurements and applanation tonometry-derived CO estimates, with the noninvasive CO results being significantly lower than the invasive ones (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in bias between the patients who were receiving vasopressor support and those who were not (P = 0.874) or between patients with good and poor applanation tonometry pressure waveform signal quality (P = 0.071). Whereas a significant increase in the invasively determined CO was observed when a fluid bolus was administered (n = 7, P = 0.016), these changes were not reflected by the noninvasive method. We conclude that radial artery applanation tonometry is not suitable to determine CO in critically ill hemodynamically unstable patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Several less invasive cardiac output monitoring techniques are now commercially available and have the potential to replace the pulmonary artery catheter under certain clinical circumstances. The aim of this review is to give a synopsis of the currently available cardiac output measurement methods. This information should help in selecting the appropriate technique in a particular clinical setting. RECENT FINDINGS An overview is given of the currently available techniques for cardiac output monitoring. Recent validation studies demonstrate that pulse wave analysis may be used reliably as an alternative to the pulmonary artery catheter in different clinical settings. The use of transesophageal echocardiography and Doppler measurements is limited due to high operator dependency, the partial carbon dioxide rebreathing technique should be applied in a precisely defined clinical setting to mechanically ventilated patients only, and pulsed dye densitometry as well as the bioimpedance technique are currently primarily applied in an investigational setting. SUMMARY Less invasive cardiac output monitoring techniques may replace the pulmonary artery catheter in different clinical settings considering the specific properties of these techniques. The pulmonary artery catheter, however, may still be recommended for cardiac output measurement in specific clinical situations when monitoring of pulmonary artery pressures is desirable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) cardiac output (CO) is being explored increasingly as a non-invasive alternative to the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC). This study compared TEB-CO measured using a new instrument--NICOMON (Larsen & Toubro Ltd. India) with thermodilution (Td) CO in post-cardiac surgery patients. METHODS Postoperative cardiac surgical patients requiring a PAC for their management were studied. TEB-CO was measured by passing a 4 mA RMS alternating current across the chest and measuring the analog bioimpedence across the thorax. Kubicek equation was used to estimate TEB-CO. Td-CO was measured using a PAC. Bland-Altman analysis was used to compare paired data. RESULTS One hundred and ninety-seven pairs of CO measurements were made by the two methods among 35 patients. Mean TEB-CO was 5.15 +/- 1.27 l/min and mean Td-CO was 5.22 +/- 1.28 l/min. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) for these measurements was 0.856 (P < 0.01), with bias -0.0651 l and precision: +/-1.37 l/min. The percentage error of measurement of this precision was 26.44%. Cardiac index also correlated among the two methods (r = 0.789; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Thoracic electrical bioimpedance cardiac output compares favorably with thermodilution method among post-cardiac surgery patients. Further studies are indi- cated with this instrument to validate its efficacy in various clinical situations and utility in monitoring hemodynamic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The performance of a recently introduced, arterial waveform-based device for measuring cardiac output (CO) without the need of invasive calibration (FloTrac/Vigileo) has been controversial. We designed the present study to assess the validity of an improved version of this monitoring technique compared with intermittent thermodilution CO measurement using a pulmonary artery catheter in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS Forty ASA III patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were studied. Simultaneous CO measurements by bolus thermodilution and the FloTrac/Vigileo device were obtained after induction of anesthesia (T1), before CPB (T2), after CPB (T3), after sternal closure (T4), on arrival in the intensive care unit (T5), 4 h (T6), 8 h (T7), and 24 h after surgery (T8). CO was indexed to the body surface area (cardiac index, CI). A percentage error of 30% or less was established as the criterion for method interchangeability. RESULTS Two hundred and eighty-two data pairs were analyzed. Thermodilution CI ranged from 1.2 to 4.1 L x min(-1) x m(-2) (mean 2.5 +/- 0.54 L x min(-1) x m(-2)). Bias and precision (1.96 sd of the bias) were 0.19 L x min(-1) x m(-2) and +/- 0.60 L x min(-1) x m(-2), resulting in an overall percentage error of 24.6%. Subgroup analysis revealed a percentage error of 28.3% for data pairs obtained intraoperatively (T1-4) and 20.7% in intensive care unit (T5-8). CONCLUSION CI values obtained by the improved, second generation semiinvasive arterial waveform device showed good intraoperative and postoperative agreement with intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution CI measurements in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obtaining cardiac output (CO) measurements noninvasively during routine blood pressure recording can improve hypertension management. A new method has been developed that estimates cardiac output using pulse-waveform analysis (PWA) from a brachial cuff sphygmomanometer. This study evaluates the ability of PWA to track changes in CO as derived by Doppler ultrasound during dobutamine stimulation. HYPOTHESIS This study aims to validate the PWA CO estimation over a wide CO range as would be obtained by dobutamine stimulation during Doppler ultrasound evaluation. METHOD A total of 48 patients undergoing standard dobutamine stress echocardiography testing for accepted clinical indications were enrolled. Among them, 44 patients (age 36-83, 18 females, 26 males) with good waveform data for analyses provided estimates of CO in this study. Noninvasive measurements of CO were performed using both Doppler ultrasound recordings and PWA techniques simultaneously at each stage of dobutamine infusion. RESULTS A total of 207 simultaneous pulse-waveform analyses and Doppler measurements were taken during dobutamine stress on 44 cardiac patients. Linear regression analysis revealed good intra-patient correlation between pulse-waveform analysis and Doppler at different dobutamine-induced CO with coefficients from r = 0.69 to 0.98 (p < 0.05). Analysis of all patients yielded an overall correlation of r = 0.82 (p < 0.001, bias = 0.4 L/min, standard deviation = 1.8 L/min). CONCLUSION The CO measured noninvasively from a sphygmomanometer using this PWA method correlates well with those of Doppler through a range of dobutamine-stimulated levels. The CO by PWA should be useful for monitoring hemodynamic changes in hypertensive and cardiac patients during routine blood pressure measurement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thermodilution technique using a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is a widely used method to determine cardiac output (CO). It is increasingly criticized because of its invasiveness and its unclear risk-benefit ratio. Thus, less invasive techniques for measuring CO are highly desirable. We compared a new, semi-invasive device (FloTrac/Vigileo) using arterial pressure waveform analysis for CO measurement in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with bolus thermodilution measurements. METHODS Forty patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting or valve repair were enrolled. A PAC was inserted and routine radial arterial access was used for semi-invasive determination of CO with the Vigileo. CO was measured simultaneously by bolus thermodilution and the Vigileo technique after induction of anaesthesia (T1), before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (T2), after CPB (T3), after sternal closure (T4), on arrival in the intensive care unit (ICU) (T5), and 4 h (T6), 8 h (T7), and 24 h after surgery (T8). CO was indexed to the body surface area (cardiac index, CI). RESULTS A total of 244 pairs of CI measurements were analysed. Bias and precision (1.96 sd of the bias) were 0.46 litre min(-1) m(-2) and +/- 1.15 litre min(-1) m(-2) (r = 0.53) resulting in an overall percentage error of 46%. Subgroup analysis revealed a percentage error of 51% for data pairs obtained intraoperatively (T1-T4), 42% in ICU (T5-T8), and 56% for values obtained during low CI (T1-T8). CONCLUSIONS In cardiac surgery patients, CO measured by a new semi-invasive arterial pressure waveform analysis device showed only moderate agreement with intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution measurement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoproteinemia is a common condition in critically ill patients, associated with the development of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome and subsequent worse clinical outcomes. Albumin with furosemide benefits lung physiology in hypoproteinemic patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, but the independent pharmacologic effects of these drugs are unknown. DESIGN Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled multicentered trial. SETTING Eleven medical, surgical, and trauma intensive care units including 190 beds within two university hospital systems. PATIENTS Forty mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, whose serum total protein concentrations were <6.0 g/dL were included. Patients were excluded for hemodynamic instability or significant renal or hepatic failure. INTERVENTIONS Subjects were equally randomly allocated to receive furosemide with albumin or furosemide with placebo for 72 hrs, titrated to fluid loss and normalization of serum total protein concentration. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was change in oxygenation from baseline to day 1, with secondary physiologic and clinical outcomes. There were no differences in baseline characteristics of the subjects in relation to group assignment. Albumin-treated patients had greater increases in oxygenation (mean change in Pao2/Fio2: +43 vs. -24 mm Hg at 24 hrs and +49 vs. -13 mm Hg at day 3), serum total protein (1.5 vs. 0.5 g/dL at day 3), and net fluid loss (-5480 vs. -1490 mL at day 3) throughout the study period (all p < .05). Fluid bolus administration to control patients reduced net negative fluid balance; control patients more frequently developed hypotension and had fewer shock-free days, which translated to differences in organ failure at study end. CONCLUSIONS The addition of albumin to furosemide therapy in hypoproteinemic patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome significantly improves oxygenation, with greater net negative fluid balance and better maintenance of hemodynamic stability. Additional randomized clinical trials are necessary to examine mechanisms and determine the effect on important clinical outcomes, such as the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the published evidence regarding the use of transthoracic electric bioimpedance (TEB) for the non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output in the ED. METHOD Databases of the medical literature, relevant textbooks and the Internet were searched for articles regarding TEB. Criteria for inclusion were drawn up prior to examination of the articles and included adherence to guidelines for comparing methods of clinical measurement. RESULTS Results are discussed under the following headings: technological capability, diagnostic accuracy, limitations, range of possible uses, therapeutic impact, impact on health care providers, patient outcome and future directions. CONCLUSION TEB is a technique for the non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output whose ease of use, continuous data acquisition and versatility suggest it may have a role to play in the care of patients in our EDs.

Abstract
Many patients presented to the emergency veterinarian are suffering from global or local tissue hypoperfusion. Global or systemic hypoperfusion can occur secondary to a reduction in the effective circulating intravascular volume (hypovolemic shock) or reduced ability of the heart to pump blood around the body secondary to reduced cardiac function (cardiogenic shock),obstruction to blood flow (obstructive shock), or maldistribution of the circulating intravascular volume (distributive shock). Initial assessment involving physical examination supplemented by measurement of hemodynamic and metabolic parameters allows the clinician to recognize and treat patients with severe global hypoperfusion. Use of techniques like sublingual capnometry and measurement of central venous oxygen saturation may aid recognition and evaluation of early hypoperfusion. Treatment decisions are made based on an assessment of the severity of the hypoperfusion and its probable underlying cause. Early effective treatment of hypoperfusion is likely to lead to a better outcome for the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients using bioimpedance technology has been shown to be a reliable alternative to invasive thermodilution techniques. However, there have been some concerns that the bioimpedance method may be unreliable in elderly patients with an atherosclerotic and rigid thoracic aorta. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of age on the reliability of noninvasive bioimpedance technology in measuring cardiac index. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in critically injured patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit. All patients had simultaneous measurement using thermodilution cardiac index (TDCI) and bioimpedance cardiac index (BICI). The population was divided into three age groups (<55 years, 55-70 years, and >70 years). The correlation between TDCI and BICI was calculated for each age group. RESULTS There were 1,138 simultaneous measurements of TDCI and BICI in 285 patients. The BICI correlated well with TDCI in all three age groups (r = 0.82 for group <55 years, r = 0.87 for group 55-70 years, and r = 0.80 for group >70 years). CONCLUSION Noninvasive cardiac index monitoring in elderly patients is reliable and correlates well with standard thermodilution techniques.

Abstract
Cardiac output (CO) is an important hemodynamic measure that helps to guide the therapy of critically ill patients. Invasive CO assessment in infants and children is often avoided because of the inherent risks. A noninvasive CO monitor that uses partial rebreathing has been recently developed to determine CO via the Fick principle for carbon dioxide. There have been no clinical studies confirming its accuracy in pediatric patients. This is a prospective observational study of 37 children <12 yr of age who underwent cardiac catheterization. Under general anesthesia via an endotracheal tube without a leak, we made multiple CO measurements using thermodilution and compared them with noninvasively determined CO measurements. Paired measurements were analyzed for bias, precision, and correlation via Bland-Altman plot and linear regression. Noninvasive measurements showed a linear correlation with thermodilution CO assessment with an r value of 0.83 (P < 0.03). Bland-Altman analysis yielded a bias of -0.27 L/min and a precision +/-1.49 L/min. Cardiac index measurements demonstrated a decreased r value of 0.67 (P = 0.15) and a bias of -0.18 L . min(-1) . m(-2) and precision of +/-2.13 L . min(-1) . m(-2). Differences between partial rebreathing measurements and thermodilution measurements were largest in children with a body surface area of </=0.6 m(2) ventilated with tidal volumes <300 mL. Based on these findings, noninvasive CO measurement using partial rebreathing may be clinically acceptable in children with >0.6 m(2) body surface area and >300 mL tidal volume.

Abstract
The initial management of the multiple trauma victim requires evaluation for potential hemorrhage and ongoing monitoring to assess the efficacy of resuscitation and avoid complications related to hemorrhagic shock. A variety of strategies exist to assess circulatory status, including hemodynamic monitoring, tissue perfusion measurement, and use of serum markers of metabolism. We review available technologies used to assess fluid status and tissue perfusion in patients with blood loss or hemorrhagic shock, discuss how these methods can be used effectively and efficiently during initial trauma resuscitation to guide therapy and disposition, and suggest directions for future research to improve outcomes by providing more appropriate and timely care and avoiding unnecessary complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review minimally invasive cardiac output monitoring devices currently available for use in the intensive care unit. DATA SOURCES Medline search from 1966 to present plus cited reference studies and abstracts from available product literature. STUDY SELECTION Selection criteria included published reports and abstracts comparing the accuracy of minimally invasive cardiac output monitors to a "gold standard." DATA SYNTHESIS Many reports have been published on the accuracy of individual minimally invasive cardiac output monitors, but cumulative data reviewing each type of monitor have not been synthesized and made available to the clinician. CONCLUSIONS Emerging noninvasive or minimally invasive means of cardiac output monitoring are based on varied physiologic principles and can be used for following hemodynamic trends. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages; it is important for the clinician to understand the strengths and limitations of each device to effectively use the information derived.
