TED may not reliably substitute for thermodilution given moderate error; leaves open need for refined validation in aortic surgery.
Does Transesophageal Doppler (TED) monitoring accurately measure cardiac output compared to thermodilution in patients undergoing aortic reconstructive surgery?
While Transesophageal Doppler monitoring correlates well with thermodilution for cardiac output, its moderate error and reduced accuracy during aortic cross-clamping limit its clinical utility in aortic reconstructive surgery without further development.
Perrino et al. (1991) studied this question.
