Traditional cardiac output measurements are
acquired by way of an invasive catheter that is navigated into the right side
of the heart - all taking place either in an operating room or intensive care
unit. The medical team at Everest was outfitted with a non-invasive cardiac
output device, the first time this type of device was tested in any extreme
environment. It worked very well and provided us with a great deal of
important data - non-invasively.
