TI  - Cardiac output determinations in the pig--thoracic electrical bioimpedance versus 
      thermodilution.
PG  - 995-8
AB  - The accuracy of transthoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) for continuous, 
      noninvasive measurement of cardiac output (Qt) in pigs was assessed in comparison 
      with the thermodilution (TD) technique. Using the TEB technique, the different 
      thoracic habitus of the pig had to be corrected for A good correlation with the 
      TD technique was obtained (r = .87; p less than .001; n = 86) using thoracic 
      length value (the measured value plus 25%) in an NCCOM3-R6 cardiodynamic computer 
      for Qt values ranging from 2.9 to 9.8 L/min in pigs weighing from 40 to 75 kg. 
      However, the Qt values given by the NCCOM3 were systematically 11% to 15% higher 
      over the full range of values than the average of NCCOM-3 and TD Qt values. On 
      the basis of the good agreement in the present study between the TEB and TD 
      techniques over a broad range of Qt values, we conclude that TEB offers a 
      valuable continuous, noninvasive alternative to TD for Qt determinations in 
      experimental porcine models.
