Influence of catecholamines at different dosages on the function of the LiDCO sensor in isoflurane anesthetized horses

ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that catecholamines could lead to overestimation in a dose‐dependent fashion in LiDCO measurements. Monitoring changes in sensor voltage differences (saline‐blood) is a valuable and clinically applicable tool to predict errors in LiDCO measurements.
