TI  - Methods of estimating cardiac output in the field.
PG  - 457-62
AB  - Simultaneous estimation of cardiac output (CO) by thoracic electrical 
      bioimpedance (TEB) and thermodilution (TD) confirmed the results of a previous 
      study which showed good agreement between these methods in selected, principally 
      non-septic, patients. Poor agreement was found between simultaneous TEB and 
      oesophageal Doppler monitoring (ODM) estimates of baseline and acute changes in 
      CO. Taken with the results of previous studies, this implies that although 
      isolated ODM estimates of CO, which tend to underestimate, are less reliable, ODM 
      is the preferred method to monitor acute changes in CO. For many reasons, not 
      least the speed with which a large number of seriously injured soldiers could be 
      assessed, ODM is probably the better method if a non-invasive estimate of CO is 
      required in field hospitals.
