Thermodilution cardiac output measurements by injection in pulmonary artery vs CVP catheter

C Martin et al. Crit Care Med. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

Thermodilution cardiac output (CO) measurements are compared after liquid injection in the pulmonary artery (PA) catheter and CVP catheter. No significant differences were found. When the proximal lumen opening of the PA catheter is clogged, CO measurements can still be obtained after injection in the CVP catheter.
