Assessment of cardiac output and volume load by transpulmonary thermodilution technique in immature pigs.
To assess the accuracy of cardiac output (CO) measured by transpulmonary thermodilution technique (TPTD)and explore the validity of intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) for assessment of circulatory volume status. ⋯ TPTD can accurately and precisely measure CO in different blood volume conditions. ITBVI measured by TPTD has better validity for the assessment of circulatory volume status than CVP.
