Excerpt

The reliability of the pulse contour methods (PCMs) in cardiac output (CO) monitoring has been questioned when changes in arterial tone occur spontaneously (for example, pain, hypovolemia) or after a therapeutic intervention (for example, nitroglycerin, nor-epinephrine). The purpose of this study was to compare the CO values assessed with the MostCare system (Vygon, Padova, Italy) (MC-CO) with those obtained with transthoracic echocardiography (Esaote Mylab 70, Genova, Italy) (TTE-CO) in trauma patients treated with norepinephrine. …
