To determine the reliability of whole-body impedance cardiography (ICGWB), with electrodes attached to wrists and ankles, in the measurement of cardiac output (CO) on the basis of simultaneous comparison with thermodilution (TD) and direct oxygen Fick (Fick) methods. Prospective clinical study. A su...
