The cardiac index is frequently measured and used in both intensive care medicine and cardiac intensive care.
2.
High cardiac index and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures, however, may lead to false positives by this standard.
3.
Decreases in the cardiac index may impair optimum oxygen delivery and outweigh the advantage of an oxygen-carrying solution.

}} In standardizing what CO values are considered to be within normal range independent of the size of the subject's body, the accepted convention is to further index equation ( ) using Body surface area ( BSA ), giving rise to the Cardiac index ( CI ).
