Why the study?
Do left ventricular end diastolic area index by transoesophageal echocardiography and intrathoracic blood volume index by dye dilution correlate with each other and with traditional filling pressures in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafts?
Population
15 patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafts
Comparison

LVEDAI and ITBVI may better track perioperative volume changes than CVP or PCWP in CABG; leaves open whether they improve outcomes over traditional monitoring.
Do left ventricular end diastolic area index by transoesophageal echocardiography and intrathoracic blood volume index by dye dilution correlate with each other and with traditional filling pressures in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafts?
Left ventricular end diastolic area index by transoesophageal echocardiography and intrathoracic blood volume index by dye dilution correlate well with each other but not with traditional filling pressures for assessing volume status during cardiac surgery.
Hinder et al. (1998) studied this question.
