The suitability of impedance cardiography as a method to follow changes in cardiac output (CO) was investigated by comparing it with thermodilution and by measurements in conditions with predictable effects on CO. The correlation between absolute CO values obtained by impedance and thermodilution techniques was moderate (r = 0.61), but the percentage changes showed a good correlation (r = 0.
