TruCCOMS is a continuous cardiac output monitoring system that gives clinicians real-time, second-by-second cardiac output measurements at the bedside. The beat-by-beat measurements are not averaged so clinicians can be sure they are making clinical decisions based on real-time events, not historical data. The system works on a principle of heat transfer and thus eliminates the requirement for intermittent thermodilution measurements to be made, saving time and eliminating the fluid boluses required with thermodilution.
The system requires no calibration at any time and works effectively in hemodynamically unstable patients as well as with on- and off-pump cardiac surgery patients.
