Abstract
Monitoring of hemodynamic parameters including cardiac output can positively affect outcomes both in surgical and nonsurgical populations. Data that used to be measured by thermodilution method via a pulmonary catheter are now obtained by using less invasive user-friendly devices. Different tools have been made available for this purpose, but one must be familiar with their setup and limitations. Erroneous results and misinterpretation of data may affect decision making. We review the available minimally invasive cardiac output monitors, their characteristics, and limitations.
