Thermodilution signal insufficient
1
Check temperature difference (ΔT) in the result screen is at least 0.2
2
Ensure adequate indicator amount (use colder and/or more injectate, max. 20ml cold saline)
Evaluation of the numbers
Check temperature difference (ΔT) in the result screen is at least 0.2
Ensure adequate indicator amount (use colder and/or more injectate, max. 20ml cold saline)
Check injectate temperature (Tinj) in the result screen is less than 10
Use colder saline for injectation
Check patient data input
Patient Situation
Check injectate volume adjustment
injectate volume adjustment
Check that measurement results differ les than ±15% from the mean value
Exclude out-of-range measurements from the averaging by touching the results column (marked by an X)
Possibly repeat a set of three thermodilution measurements
Remark:
Values of all single measurements should not differ more than +/- 15% from the average, shown in the column to the right
During the thermodilution measurement no sufficient arterial pressure signal was available
Improve the arterial pressure signal quality
Check for treatment or disease as reason
