Agreement of minimally invasive pulse wave analysis with pulmonary artery and transpulmonary thermodilution cardiac output measurements in perioperative and intensive care medicine: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
British journal of anaesthesia·July 1, 2026·PMID 42230211
Why it mattersClinicians in perioperative and critical care settings rely on cardiac output monitoring to guide hemodynamic management. This meta-analysis quantifies the limited accuracy of minimally invasive PWA devices compared to gold-standard thermodilution, highlighting that these devices may not be interchangeable and that their performance depends on the clinical context and specific device.
