Abstract
Our data show a poor level of concordance between measures provided by the two methods. We found an underestimation of CO values measured with the 1.07 software version of FloTrac for supranormal values of CO. The new software (1.10) has been improved in order to correct this bias; however, its reliability is still poor. On the basis of our data, we can therefore conclude that both software versions of FloTrac/Vigileo did not still provide reliable estimation of CO in our intensive care unit setting.
