From: Precision of the transpulmonary thermodilution measurements

Figure 1

Relationship between the number of measurements and the precision of transpulmonary thermodilution variables. CI: cardiac index, GEDVi: global end-diastolic volume indexed for body surface, EVLWi: extravascular lung water indexed for predicted body weight. For instance, if a precision of ±10% would be desired, one would have to take the mean of three measurements. (Data are expressed as medians and 25 to 75% interquartile ranges).
