Excerpt
NICO is a noninvasive cardiopulmonary monitor that provides an alternative to invasive TDco for measurement of CO. NICO uses a differential form of the Fick equation (change in CO
2 excretion and end-tidal CO
2, in response to a brief period of partial rebreathing) to provide noninvasive estimates of the CO [
1]. The objective of this study was to compare the degree of agreement in measurements of CO using NICO and TDco, at predetermined intervals in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). …
