Determination of Cardiac Output by the Fick Method, Thermodilution, and Acetylene Rebreathing in Pulmonary Hypertension
Abstract
Assessment of cardiac output is an important part of the management of patients with pulmonary hypertension. The accuracy of the thermodilution technique in patients with low cardiac output or severe tricuspid regurgitation has been questioned. To address this issue, we simultaneously compared 105 cardiac output measurements by the Fick method and thermodilution in 35 patients with pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, we evaluated the acetylene rebreathing technique, a noninvasive method of determining cardiac output. The mean difference +/- 95% limit of agreement between thermodilution and the Fick method was +0.01 +/- 1.1 L/min. The mean difference +/- 95% limit of agreement between acetylene rebreathing and the Fick method was -0.23 +/- 1.14 L/min. Neither the mean agreement nor the 95% limits of agreement of both thermodilution and acetylene rebreathing with the Fick method were affected by the presence of low cardiac output or severe tricuspid regurgitation. We conclude that thermodilution and acetylene rebreathing are useful tools for assessing cardiac output in patients with pulmonary hypertension, even in the presence of low cardiac output or severe tricuspid regurgitation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
