Key result
The FloTrac system for estimating cardiac output was compared to continuous thermodilution during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery in the study discussed by this commentary.
Why the study?
Does the FloTrac system accurately estimate cardiac output compared to continuous thermodilution in off-pump cardiac surgery patients?

This is a commentary discussing a retrospective cohort study that compared the FloTrac system to continuous thermodilution for cardiac output estimation during off-pump CABG.
We read with great interest the study by Chahyun Oh et al., which compared estimates of cardiac output (CO) provided by the FloTrac system (CO-FloTrac) with those obtained with continuous thermodilution (COcont) after time adjustments using continuous recordings of intraoperative physiological datal [...].
