Comparison of Estimated Continuous Cardiac Output and Transoesophageal Echocardiography Cardiac Output for Noninvasively Measuring Cardiac Output in Paediatric Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplant Surgery: A Pilot Study

Objective: Estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO), a noninvasive technique for continuously measuring cardiac output, is based on modified pulse wave transit time (m-PWTT), which in turn is determined by pulse oximetry and electrocardiography (ECG). However, its trending ability has never been evaluated in paediatric patients. Therefore, this study examined esCCO’s ability to detect the exact changes in cardiac o... view more»
