ULSE CONTOUR CARDIAC OUTPUT (PICCO) MONITORING
The transpulmonary thermodilution PiCCO parameters are listed in the following
table.
Transpulmonary Thermodilution parameters
Label Parameter
Measurement
Range
Normal Value
p-CO Cardiac Output - Transpulmonary
thermodilution cardiac output serves as the
basic parameter for calculation of various
blood volumes.
0.25 to 25 L/min Not applicable
p-CI Cardiac Index - Cardiac output normalized to
BSA (Body Surface Area).
0.10 to
15.00 L/min/m
2
3.0 - 5.0 L/min/m
2
GEDV Global End Diastolic Volume - The sum of all
end-diastolic volumes of the atria and the
ventricles. GEDV is equivalent to preload
volume of the total heart.
40 to 4800 ml Not applicable
GEDVI Global End Diastolic Volume Index
GEDVI = GEDV / PBSA (Predicted Body
Surface Area)
80 to 2400 ml/m
2
680 to 800 ml/m
2
EVLW Extravascular Lung Water - correlates to
extravascular thermal volume in the lungs and
is determined by the mean transit time
method.
10 to 5000 ml Not applicable
EVLWI Extravascular Lung Water Index -
Extravascular Lung Water normalized to body
weight.
EVLWI = EVLW / PBW (Predicted Body
Weight)
0 to 50 ml/kg 3.0 to 7.0 ml/kg
GEF Global Ejection Fraction - equal to 4 times the
stroke volume divided by the global end
diastolic volume (GEDV).
1 to 99% 25 to 35%
PVPI Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index -
Indicator of capillary leakage.
0.1 to 10 1.0 to 3.0
CFI Cardiac Function Index - CFI = CI / GEDVI 1.0 to 15.0 L/min 4.5 - 6.5 L/min
ITBV Intrathoracic Blood Volume. 50 to 6000 ml Not applicable
ITBVI Intrathoracic Blood Volume Index.
ITBVI = ITBV / PBSA (Predicted Body Surface
Area)
100 to
3000 ml/m
2
850 - 1000 ml/m
2
NOTE:
• Normal values reflect clinical experience and may vary from patient to patient. They are without
guarantee.
• The prefix of “p-” before SV, SVI, SVR, SVRI is an indication that these parameters are derived
by the PiCCO pod.
