Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialTransgastric, pulsed Doppler echocardiographic determination of cardiac output.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of cardiac output measurement with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) using a transgastric, pulsed Doppler method in acutely ill patients. ⋯ Transgastric pulsed Doppler measurement across the left ventricular outflow tract with TEE is a very feasible and clinically acceptable method for cardiac output measurement in acutely ill patients.
