Entry term(s) impedancia transtorácica
pletismografía de impedancia transtorácica
Scope note: Tipo de pletismografía de impedancia en la cual la impedancia bioeléctrica se mide entre electrodos colocados alrededor del cuello y del tórax inferior. Se usa principalmente para calcular el volumen sistólico y el volumen cardíaco, pero también está relacionada con la contractilidad miocárdica, el contenido de líquido torácico, y la circulación a las extremidades.

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.
