This method is based on the principle that change of the blood pressure about the mean is directly related to the SV. Various factors affect its accuracy like compliance of the arterial tree, wave reflection, damping of the transducer and aortic systolic outflow[18].

LiDCO (Cambridge, United Kingdom) system combines pulse contour analysis with lithium indicator dilution for continuous monitoring of SV and SV variation (SVV). Root mean square method is applied to the arterial pressure signal and called “nominal SV” and using a patient specific calibration factor is further scaled to an “actual SV”[19]. It is a minimally invasive technique first described in 1993[18] and requires a venous (central or peripheral) line and an arterial catheter. A bolus of lithium chloride is injected into venous line and arterial concentration is measured by withdrawing blood acr...
