Thoracic Fluid Content as an Outcome Predictor in Intensive Care Unit

Hemodynamic parameters was measured daily at 10 a.m by using ICON non-invasive cardiometer model C3 made in Germany by OSYPKA medical (figure 5) by placing the four sensors on the neck and left side of the thorax allow for the continuous measurement of the changes of electrical conductivity within the thorax parameters such as CO, TFC, SVV and FTC were calculated 3 times with 5-min intervals and stored on the device automatically.
