HEMODYNAMIC MONITORING
Initiate A Cardiac Output Measurement
Cardiac Output (C.O.) is the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle
each minute, expressed in liters per minute (l/min). Cardiac Index (CI) is the
Cardiac Output divided by the patient's body surface area.
To initiate a Cardiac Output measurement on the V12 or V21 bedside monitor:
a. Insert C.O. Module
b. Connect the C.O. cable to the C.O. connector on the monitor
interconnecting the C.O. Module, PA Catheter, and injectate.
c. Select C.O. tile to enter C.O. Alarms tab and select C.O. Run
Or
c. Select Procedures tab from the Navigation Area and select C.O. Run
d. Verify the computation constant or adjust the computation constant in
the Setup tab
e. Enter height/weight in the Setup tab to obtain calculated Cardiac Index
f. Select Accept to return to Cardiac Output dialog
g. Inject solution when “Inject When Ready” message is displayed
(Auto start is enabled in Setup tab)
Or
g. Select Start C.O. and inject solution within 4 seconds to perform a
Cardiac Output measurement when “Ready” message is displayed
(Auto Start is disabled in Setup tab)
