Comparison of the ability of two continuous cardiac output monitors to detect stroke volume index: Estimated continuous cardiac output estimated by modified pulse wave transit time and measured by an arterial pulse contour-based cardiac output device.
Estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO), a non-invasive technique for continuously measuring cardiac output (CO), is based on modified pulse wave transit time, which is determined by pulse oximetry and electrocardiography. ⋯ This study demonstrated that the accuracy, precision, and dynamic trend of esCCO are better than those of APCO.
