Hemodynamic monitoring is important for diagnosis and therapy of critically ill patients. Thermodilution is now the gold standard method; however, it cannot be used routinely since it is very invasive. We investigated the agreement between the cardiac index (CI) obtained by mini-invasive monitor MostCare, based on the pressure recording analytical method (PRAM), and by PiCCO thermodilution in hemodynamic unstable patients. …
