Agreement between continuous cardiac output measured by the fourth-generation FloTrac/Vigileo system and a pulmonary artery catheter in adult liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT: In liver transplantation for end-stage liver failure, monitoring of continuous cardiac output (CCO) is used for circulatory management due to hemodynamic instability. CCO is often measured using the minimally invasive FloTrac/Vigileo system (FVS-CCO), instead of a highly invasive pulmonary artery catheter (PAC-CCO). The FVS has improved accuracy due to an updated cardiac output algorithm, but the effect of this change on the accuracy of FVS-CCO in liver transplantation is unclear. In this study, we assessed agreement between fourth-generation FVS-CCO and PAC-CCO in 20 patients aged ≥ 20 years who underwent scheduled or emergency liver transplantation at Kyoto University Hospital from September 2019 to June 2021. Consent was obtained before surgery and data were recorded throughout the surg
