Clinical Validation of Algorithms for Mean Systemic Filling Pressure and Automated Cardiac Output

"Peri- and postoperative measurement of continuous cardiac output with thermodilution derived pulse contour calculated device (PiCCO).~Estimation of mean systemic filling pressure using a computerized algorithm and by creating venous return curves with inspiratory hold maneuvers, thereby extrapolating the VR-curve until mean systemic filling pressure is calculated."
