Cardiopulmonary bypass as a reference flow model for impedance cardiography monitoring is described in 34 children during open-heart surgery. Such an approach not only proved the accuracy and precision of impedance cardiac output measurement, but also gave a possibility to make intra-operative calibration of any cardiac output monitor which maintains its accuracy during the post-bypass period.
