Cardiac Output

BEFORE INJECTING FOR A CARDIAC OUTPUT
1. Dräger recommends pre-filled syringes or a closed injectate
system placed in an ice bath maintained between 0°C (32°F)
and 5°C (41°F). The accuracy of measurements done with the
thermodilution method increases as the temperature of the
injectate approaches 0°C (32 °F).
2. If using an injectate at room temperature, use a 10 cc. injec-
tate volume, unless clinically contraindicated, to get the best
results.
3. Select C.O. parameter box.
4. Verify correct catheter size and type. The computation con-
stant is already entered.
5. If either one is not correct,
o Select Catheter type and choose BD / Ohmeda, Edwards /
Baxter, Arrow, or Other.
