TI  - Thoracic electrical bioimpedance: a non-invasive measure of cardiac output for 
      porcine research.
PG  - 324-9
AB  - A comparison of two techniques for measuring cardiac output, thermodilution (TD) 
      and thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB), was undertaken in a porcine model. 
      Eight anaesthetized large white pigs were studied. A total of 436 paired 
      measurements were performed over a range of cardiac outputs from 1.7 to 15.1 
      l/min as measured by thermodilution. The Pearson product moment correlation 
      coefficient was r = 0.963 with P < 0.001. Analysis by Bland and Altman statistics 
      revealed a mean difference (bias) of -0.02 l/min and the limits of agreement were 
      +/- 1.6 l/min, similar to figures found in human comparative studies. These 
      results confirm that thoracic electrical bioimpedance is a valid method of 
      measuring cardiac output in pigs. It has significant advantages compared to 
      thermodilution, in particular it is cheap, simple to use, non-invasive and 
      provides continuous data.
