Brief summary
Cardiac Output (amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute) will be measured using the new COstatus(R) system and these values will be compared with cardiac output values measured by other methods such as thermodilution. Blood volumes measured by the COstatus(R) system will also be recorded.
