A group of engineers at Michigan State developed a novel waveform analysis technique ("Long Time Interval Analysis" \[LTIA\]) that attempts to estimate cardiac output non-invasively. Retrospective comparison of LTIA to invasive techniques (e.g. thermodilution) suggest acceptable agreement. Thus, a prospective trial of LTIA is warranted. This study compares LTIA to a validated measure of cardiac output - esophageal Doppler monitoring.

RECRUITINGPearson Correlation Coefficient
Correlation between change in CO from LTIA vs. change in CO from esophageal Doppler
Time frame: Data collected in first 20 minutes of anesthesia/surgery will be recorded; Pearson correlation coefficient will be calculated after all 60 subjects have been enrolled
