We reviewed the comparative trials of the Flotrac/VigileoTM versus the thermodilution method, published in the last five years. The results about the agreement between the two methods measuring cardiac output are contrasting. We also noticed that almost the whole pertinent literature include studies conducted without a correct statistical design, particularly about the sample size. For this reason we consider that results of the published studies about the agreement between pulse contour analysis for cardiac output measurement and thermodilution method may be not reliable.
我们回顾了过去五年发表的关于Flotrac/VigileoTM与热稀释法的对比试验。关于这两种测量心输出量方法之间一致性的结果存在差异。我们还注意到，几乎所有相关文献中的研究都没有正确的统计设计，尤其是样本量方面。因此，我们认为已发表的关于心输出量测量的脉搏轮廓分析与热稀释法之间一致性的研究结果可能不可靠。
