title: Cost-effectiveness of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring.
abstract: Costs for hemodynamic monitoring can comprise a large segment of an institution's budget. Noninvasive monitoring with thoracic electrical bioimpedance is a cost-effective alternative to invasive monitoring. It can decrease not only materials costs but also costs related to patient complications.
