ABSTRACT cardiac parameters, because of its minimal invasiveness of nature. The stroke volume, cardiac output, diastolic It is essential to continuously and non-invasively filling, ventricular contractility, and so forth, have been monitor the cardiac pumping function in clinical set- evaluated using this impedance plethysmography in pre- ting. Thus, the study aimed to explore a regional im- vious literature [1-5]. According to the electrode ar- pedance phethysmographic method to assess the rangement and location, there are three most popular changes in stroke volume. To do this, we developed a electrical impedance technologies applied for non-inva- plethysmographic device
