Abstract

The measurement of the aortic blood flow (ABF) is being used more and more frequently, as complementary support for the hemodynamic monitoring in anesthesia and in intensive care [1,2]. An appropriate, objective, continuous and precise measure of the ABF value, contributes to obtaining useful and necessary information for real interpretations of the pre- and the afterload and the contractility variations.
