ANIMALS 6 healthy male Landrace pigs. PROCEDURES Over a period of 1 week, pigs were anesthetized with isoflurane, mechanically ventilated, and underwent instrumentation in dorsal recumbency. They were subjected to sequential experimental states during which the blood volume was manipulated so that the animals transitioned from normovolemia to hypovolemia (20% and 40% of blood volume depletion), back to normovolemia (autologous blood transfusion), and then to hypervolemia (following colloid bolus). During each volume state, CO measurements were compared between TPUD and PACTD.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalvelocity dilutionlithium dilutionprecision statisticsthermodilutionechocardiographytechnologyagreementbiasArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.21.11.0189836355249641943-5681
