TI  - Comparison of two impedance cardiographic techniques for measuring cardiac 
      output.

AB  - The purpose of the present study was to compare cardiac outputs obtained by both 
      the Kubicek (MIC) and Sramek (NCCOM3) impedance cardiographic techniques with 
      thermodilution (TD) in critically ill patients. The two impedance techniques were 
      also compared in normal subjects. Seven healthy subjects and ten patients in the 
      intensive care unit were enlisted in the study. Only those subjects with 
      successful measurements by all three methods were used in the data analysis. 
      Three measurements of cardiac output were made in each subject. In patients, 
      there were no significant differences in cardiac outputs as measured by TD 
      (6.61/min), MIC (6.3 1/min), NCCOM3 (6.4 1/min). MIC and NCCOM3 cardiac outputs 
      were correlated and approximated the line of identify when compared to TD. In 
      normals, however, the NCCOM3 overestimated the cardiac output (NCCOM3, 9.2 1/min; 
      MIC, 6.2 1/min). Because of these inconsistent results, caution is urged when 
      interpreting the values obtained by the NCCOM3. In contrast, the use of the MIC 
      in both populations has been reaffirmed.
