Cardiac output (CO) can be measured using the transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. TPTD is considered to be the gold standard in pediatric patients. We studied the influence of high levels of EVLW on the reliability of CO measurement using the TPTD technique in a pediatric animal model. …
