Chapter 16: Cardiac Output Monitoring
At the end of the measurement C.O. value will be displayed on the screen. After each
measurement if the curve appears abnormal (due to noise or inappropriate injection), a
question mark symbol ("?") will appear next to the calculated C.O. value. The thermodilution
curve, cardiac output numeric value and measurement time are stored in one of five EDIT
windows. Press STOP key during measurement to stop it.
NOTE:
Sudden variations in pulmonary artery blood temperature resulted from e.g. patient
movement or drug injection may cause C.O calculation. To avoid incorrect curve
detection, immediately after "Inject Now" appears, inject the solution.
