https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/5101/cardiac-output-stoke-volume Hello all, I am doing a bit of market research- again! Do any of you measure cardiac output or stroke volume? At the moment how do you obtain the information and of what use is it to you? Thanks for your comments Amy en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/17919?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 27 May 2010 09:34:19 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:082a2e3c-238e-4c0f-a1dd-4d520a371a64Mike Martin<p>Amy,</p> <p>In the clinical world, catheter-based techniques (Ficks, thermodilution etc) for which Vygon sell such catheters in the medical catalogue is not done. It is still done in research places such as Vet Schools. </p> <p>Alternatively, CO&nbsp;can be measured by spectral Doppler echo (aortic diameter x stroke index), eg to work out the shunt ratio in a dog with a VSD or PDA for example. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/17914?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 26 May 2010 23:46:16 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:296c2520-72bc-49a0-bbff-df0e8e164600Ian Mostyn<p>Sorry but no.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
