A Cardiac Output Computer for the Rapid Analysis of Indicator-Dilution Curves

Abstract

The determination of cardiac output and central blood volume is of considerable importance, not only in cardiac research but in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. At present, the most clinically adaptable method of determining these parameters is the indicator-dilution technique. However, analysis of indicator-dilution curves is laborious, requiring twenty to forty minutes of a skilled operator's time. A simple instrument has been …
