Accuracy and Trending Ability of the Fourth-Generation FloTrac/Vigileo System in Patients With Low Cardiac Index

The degree of accuracy of the fourth-generation FloTrac/Vigileo in patients with low cardiac index was not acceptable, and high systemic vascular resistance in patients with low cardiac index may have contributed to this inaccuracy. The tracking ability of the fourth-generation FloTrac/Vigileo after phenylephrine administration or cardiac resynchronization therapy was below acceptable limits.
