PCCO = cal x HR x ³[P(t) / SVR + C(P) x dP/dt] dt
where PCCO = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (l/min)
cal = Patient specific calibration factor (determined by thermodilution)
HR = Heart Rate (1/min)
P(t) / SVR = Area under pressure curve
C(P) = Characteristic compliance of the aorta (determined by
thermodilution)
dP/dt = Shape of pressure curve
PCCI = PCCO / BSA
where PCCI = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output Index (l/min/m
2
)
PCCO = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (l/min)
BSA = Body Surface Area (m
2
)
SV = (PCCO / HR) x 1000
where SV = Stroke Volume (ml)
PCCO = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (l/min)
HR = Heart Rate (1/min)
'PCCI = (PCCO – TDCO) / TDCO * 100%
where 'PCCI = Relative Change of PCCI
PCCO = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (l/min)
TDCO = Mean of all (selected) TDs used for PCCO-calibration (l/min)
 Note: The indexing factor BSA is irrelevant.
SVI = SV / BSA
where SVI = Stroke Volume Index (ml/m
2
)
SV = Stroke Volume (ml)
BSA = Body Surface Area (m
