Excerpt

Monitoring of the cardiac index (CI) is a cornerstone of intensive care. Nevertheless, most of the techniques based on indicator dilution and/or pulse contour analysis require central venous and/or arterial catheters. Several surrogate markers have been suggested to estimate CI including ScvO₂, central venous-arterial CO₂ difference (CVACO₂D) as well as body surface temperatures and their differences to body core temperature (BCT). It was the aim of our prospective study to evaluate the predictive capabilities of CVACO₂D, ScvO₂, surface temperatures and lactate regarding CI. …
