Abstract
Using the ultrasonic cardiac output monitoring (USCOM) device it is possible to determine noninvasive beat-to-beat CO in postcardiac surgery patients without the possible complications associated with invasive right heart catheterization. The USCOM CO and stroke volume showed a very good agreement with invasive Swan-Ganz measures and correlated with central venous saturation percentage.
