Height/Weight entries for CO using Kubicek/Rho method
To extract Cardiac Output values from impedance cardiography data if subject height/weight was not recorded, set the stroke volume method to Kubicek.
Subject height and weight are not needed for the Kubicek/Rho method, but a value must be entered for height and weight for the analysis to run.
- You can easily confirm that the height and weight values are not used in the analysis:Â take a small section of data and run the analysis twice using drastically different values for height and weight for the two different runs; you will see that the results are identical because the results do not depend on those values.
Height and weight values must be entered for Kubicek/Rho analysis when running AcqKnowledge 4.4.1 or below; the dialog box will be modified in future releases to use different prompts for different stroke volume method preferences.
