Open Access Abstract Introduction This study was designed to compare the clinical acceptability of two cardiac output CO monitoring systems a pulse wave contour-based system FloTrac-Vigileo and a bioreactance-based system NICOM using continuous thermodilution PAC-CCO as a reference method. Methods Consecutive patients requiring PAC-CCO monitoring following cardiac surgery were also monitored by the two other devices. CO values obtained simultaneously by the three systems were recorded continuously on a minute-by-minute basis. Results Continuous recording was performed on 29 patients providing 12 099 simultaneous measurements for each device 417 107 per patient . In stable conditions correlations of NICOM and Vigileo with PAC-CCO were and respectively. The bias was for NICOM and for Vigileo NS . NICOM relative error was less .
