    Abstract

    The lithium dilution cardiac output (LiDCO) system measures cardiac output beat-to-beat with high precision. The system is based on an arterial pulse power analysis which is calibrated every eight hours with a small non-pharmacological dose of lithium. The system is minimally invasive; it requires only a peripheral arterial catheter and a venous access. Dynamic parameters for early goal-directed therapy are also provided.
