Development of in-airway laser absorption spectroscopy for respiratory based measurements of cardiac output

Abstract Respiratory approaches to determining cardiac output in humans are securely rooted in mass balance and therefore potentially highly accurate. To address existing limitations in the gas analysis, we developed an in-airway analyser based on laser absorption spectroscopy to provide analyses ev...
