Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring in Cardiogenic Shock: The NICOM Study

The bioreactance technique is a relatively new, totally noninvasive technique that is used to measure cardiac output (CO) and is easy to use. The Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitor (NICOM) is 1 such system. Although approved by the Food and Drug Administration for measurement of stroke volume, there is a paucity of literature validating this technology in decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
