Pulmonary Artery Catheter (PAC)
A catheter is inserted into the pulmonary artery, through the internal jugular vein; cardiac output is indicated by the speed that a temperature gradient dissipates.
Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitor (ECOM)
An FDA-approved medical device is inserted into the patient's throat; cardiac output is calculated by measuring how electricity moves through the chest.
Estimated Continuous Cardiac Output (esCCO)
Sensors are placed on the arm, finger and leg to calculate Pulse Wave Transit Time (PWTT); the time it takes for the pulse of the heartbeat to travel through the body.
