Observational StudyMinimally Invasive Determinations of Oxygen Delivery and Consumption in Cardiac Surgery: An Observational Study.
Evaluate minimally invasive assessment of oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2) and determine its level of agreement with the gold standard approach of those measurements in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ Agreement between minimally invasive and invasive DO2 and VO2 determinations is, moderate and poor, respectively. These findings may be explained by the poor agreement between minimally invasive and invasive cardiac output measurements.
