May inform hemodynamic monitoring in high-risk cardiovascular patients; leaves open prospective validation of alternatives to pulmonary artery catheter thermodilution.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the technical principles, clinical applications, and limitations of various indicator-dilution techniques for hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients.
Reuter et al. (2010) conducted a review in Critically ill patients at increased risk for developing cardiac complications. Indicator-dilution techniques (e.g., single-bolus thermodilution, transcardiopulmonary thermodilution, lithium dilution) was evaluated. Indicator-dilution techniques for cardiac output monitoring, including single-bolus thermodilution, transcardiopulmonary thermodilution, and lithium dilution, are reviewed regarding their principles and limitations.
