title: Monitoring cardiac function without the use of a pulmonary artery catheter.
abstract: Investigators have been trying to develop ways to measure cardiac function that are less invasive and more cost-effective than a pulmonary artery catheter. None of the technologies currently available are yet ready for routine use in assessing cardiac function in the operating room and in the intensive cardiac unit.
