Excerpt

The benefit of routine measurement of cardiac output after cardiac surgery is still discussed. Some studies found no benefit of routine right heart catheterisation [1] while others found a reduce length of stay [2]. Clinical prediction of cardiac output is poor after cardiac surgery [3]. Clinicians also do not really know what value of cardiac output is necessary after cardiac surgery. The aim of the present study was to verify whether the commonly accepted lower value of cardiac index of 2.2 l/min/m² [4] at arrival in the ICU was a good predictor of complications after cardiac surgery. …
