Authors' recommendations:
Recently published data indicate that the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Measurement (USCOM) shows accuracy and agreement with the reference standard thermodilation, although recent concerns have been raised regarding the accuracy of pulmonary artery catheterization with low cardiac output. The non-invasive nature of this technique suggests that it would be suitable for use in settings where procedural risk, time and equipment requirements are serious considerations. As the technology appears likely to enter the health system, a horizon scanning report is recommended.
