Abstract;Cardiac output values determined by two less invasive cardiac output measurement systems, Hemo Sonic and NICO were compared with those obtained using pulmonary artery catheter. A total of 11 patients who underwent open-heart surgery were used as the subjects. The cardiac output values determined by the former two were significantly lower than those obtained by the latter. Cardiac output could be measured more easily using Hemo Sonic and NICO than the catheter. Thus, it was concluded that Hemo Sonic and NICO were more valuable for clinical use because of its low invasiveness.
