Response - NO
Brief Summary   Thermodilution and pulse contour are both the principles in PiCCO derived cardiac output.

PiCCO is more reliable and also provides parameters of lung water and global end diastolic volume that correlate with the volume status  and. are additional parameters
The study aims to look at the correlation of cardiac output measured by thermodilution with the pulse contour method and at the accuracy of PiCCO parameters global end-diatolic volume index and extra vascular lung water index with static parameters like the CVP and the oxygenation index
