Figure 1

Comparison of cardiac output determined using the thermodilution method (QT THERM) and cardiac output determined using the metabolic (Fick) method (QT FICK) according to (a) the Bland and Altman graphic method [28], and (b) the Passing and Bablok regression method [29]. Determined using the whole set of data after removal of one data point identified as an outlier (48 pairs obtained in the 18 patients), irrespective of the cardiac output value and of the presence of a tricuspid regurgitation. CI, confidence interval; SD, standard deviation.
