Clinical evaluation of a newly introduced noninvasive cardiac flow detector (CardioFlo).
Clinical evaluation on a newly-introduced cardiac flow detector (CardioFlo) was made on 6 patients. The correlation between the values obtained from the Swan-Ganz catheter (thermodilution) and the present method was studied. A good correlation (r = 0.94) was demonstrated, which indicates clinical validity of this new method, especially when time is extremely limited as in emergency cases.
