Cardiac Output, Low
Conditions
Brief summary
Comparison studies comparing hemodynamic parameters provided by the Caretaker against respective Gold Standard references.
Detailed description
Comparison study comparing hemodynamic parameters provided by the Caretaker against respective Gold Standard references. Specifically, continuous beat-by-beat blood pressure readings against arterial catheter readings and cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) measures against thermo-dilution measurements
Interventions
Equivalence of Caretaker cardiac output reading to reference standard

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
