Scope note

  • A type of impedance plethysmography in which bioelectrical impedance is measured between electrodes positioned around the neck and around the lower thorax. It is used principally to calculate stroke volume and cardiac volume, but it is also related to myocardial contractility, thoracic fluid content, and circulation to the extremities.

History note

  • 91(79); was see under PLETHYSMOGRAPHY, IMPEDANCE 1979-90
