Validation of radial artery-based uncalibrated pulse contour method (PulsioFlex) in critically ill patients: A observational study

CONCLUSION: In critically ill patients, the PulsioFlex system connected to a radial arterial catheter is inaccurate for CI measurements and does not track changes in CI adequately. We therefore recommend using validated thermodilution techniques for monitoring in the critical care setting.
