Abstract
The advantage of non-invasive methods is the fact that they allow to obtain relevant information on systemic haemodynamics and cardiac output of critically ill patients before the introduction of invasive inputs (tracheal intubation, central venous catheter and arterial line) and measurement can be repeated indefinitely. The downside is that with decreasing invasiveness of the methodology and the increasing complexity of data approximation decreases the absolute accuracy of the results of monitoring.
