[Anesthetic management for removal of a giant ovarian tumor by monitoring transesophageal Doppler cardiac output].
Transesophageal Doppler cardiac output was monitored in two cases for removal of a giant ovarian tumor. In case 1, cardiac output (CO) increased following the drainage of the tumor, and CO decreased following blood loss. In case 2, CO increased following the removal of the tumor, and remained stable because of small blood loss. Cardiovascular parameters changed remarkably with the drainage of tumors and blood loss. Therefore, noninvasive Doppler cardiac output monitor was useful for rapid estimation of cardiovascular changes.
