title: Continuous, on-line, real-time measurement of cardiac output and derived cardiorespiratory variables in the critically ill.
abstract: A previously reported monitoring system provided continuous direct measurements of oxygen consumption and intravascular pressures. These data were combined with interval measurements of cardiac output and blood oxygen saturations to derive various hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables. This system has now been modified so that cardiac output is measured continuously in real-time.
