Official Title: Comparative Hemodynamic Assessment Between Lidco Rapid and Pulmonary Artery Thermodilution

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out the Lidco Rapid ( monitoring tool gives cardiac output) is as equivalent in determining the hemodynamic assessment in cardiac surgical scenarios as the most often used pulmonary artery catheter, which is much more invasive than the Lidco Rapid. This will be accomplished through online surveys which have different cardiac surgery scenarios and will be distributed to cardiac fellowship trained anesthesiologists. The online based survey will include a specific scenario and details on the scenario represented in image format and a brief description of the patient to aid with their analysis of the situation.
