(13) Validation in noncritically ill patients is good when compared to other technologies (e.g., thermodilution, Fick, dye dilution (r greater than 0.9)).
(14) To validate the results, data of measured oxygen uptake and cardiac output calculated by the Fick principle were compared to synchronous thermodilution measurements at rest and during exercise.
(15) Delivered tidal volumes of the system, the accuracy of the oxygen sensor cell, measurement of the oxygen uptake related to different inspiratory oxygen concentrations as well as comparative tests of oxygen uptake according to Fick's principle were studied.
(16) These data were compared with the cardiac output measured by the direct Fick method for oxygen, corrected for venous admixture.
(17) On volunteers without heart diseases the cardiac output according to the Fick principle, the impedance-cardiographic and sphygmographic method at rest and under pharmacological influence is synchronously measured and statistically compared with the found cardiac output according to Fick.
