FloTrac/VigileoTM (Third Generation) and MostCare®/PRAM Versus Echocardiography for Cardiac Output Estimation in Vascular Surgery

In patients undergoing vascular surgery, the FloTrac/VigileoTM did not demonstrate that it was a reliable system for CO monitoring when compared with echocardiography-derived CO. However, MostCare®/PRAM was shown to estimate CO with a good level of agreement with echocardiographic measures.
