Direct Fick

The Direct Fick Method is a method of measuring cardiac output using the Fick Principle. It divides the oxygen intake by the difference in oxygen content of aortic blood and mixed venous blood. It has been criticized as inaccurate by some because its invasive nature alters cardiac dynamics.
