Equipment review: an appraisal of the LiDCO plus method of measuring cardiac output

Rupert M Pearse et al. Crit Care. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

The LiDCO plus system is a minimally/non-invasive technique of continuous cardiac output measurement. In common with all cardiac output monitors this technology has both strengths and weaknesses. This review discusses the technological basis of the device and its clinical application.
