Non-invasive continuous cardiac output monitoring in thoracic cancer surgery: A comparative study between calibrated pulse contour analysis and chest bioreactance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients scheduled for thoracic cancer surgery are eligible for goal-directed fluid therapy, but cardiac output monitoring remains challenging in that specific setting.

Objective

We aimed to compare cardiac output as measured with chest bioreactance with that measured by calibrated pulse contour analysis; the hypothesis being that both methods would be interchangeable.

Design

A prospective monocentre observational study.

Setting

A tertiary university hospital.

Patients

Fifty adult patients undergoing thoracic cancer surgery over a one year period.

Main outcome measures

Simultaneous measurements of cardiac index (CI) with bioreactance (CI-NICOM) and arterial pulse contour analysis calibrated by transthoracic echocardiography (CI-PCA) wer
