Novel single-cuff method may enable noninvasive CO assessment; leaves open accuracy and utility pending validation.
Does a novel brachial occlusion-cuff technique accurately measure cardiac output compared to the open-circuit acetylene washin method in healthy individuals?
The novel brachial occlusion-cuff technique provides similar cardiac output measurements to the established open-circuit acetylene method at rest and during light to moderate exercise.
