Key result
Arterial pulse wave analysis using the PulseCO system strongly correlated with thermodilution for determining cardiac index in children (r=0.94, p<0.001), with a mean difference of 0.19 L/min/m.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Arterial pulse wave analysis (PulseCO) is an accurate and minimally invasive alternative to thermodilution for measuring real-time cardiac output in children.

Kim et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Children with a structurally normal heart undergoing hemodynamic evaluation (n=20). Arterial pulse wave analysis (PulseCO) vs. Thermodilution technique was evaluated on Cardiac index (r 0.94, p=<.001). Arterial pulse wave analysis using the PulseCO system strongly correlated with thermodilution for determining cardiac index in children (r=0.94, p<0.001), with a mean difference of 0.19 L/min/m.
