Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a method for estimating body composition in most of the cases. The Non-Invasive Cardiac System (NICaS) device (non-invasive cardiac system) applies the principle of Whole Body Bio-Impedance and provides continuous data regarding the hemodynamic status (i.e. heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index, and total peripheral vascular resistance) as well as respiration rate and total body water.
