2 Attach the catheter end of the patient cable to the thermistor and thermal filament connectors on
the Swan-Ganz CCO catheter. These connections are emphasized as numbers and in
figure 9-3 on page 121.
3 Verify that the CCO catheter is properly inserted into the patient.
9.2.2 Initiating Monitoring
WARNING CO monitoring should always be discontinued when blood flow around the thermal
filament is stopped. Clinical situations where CO monitoring should be discontinued
include, but are not limited to:
• Time periods when a patient is on cardiopulmonary bypass
• Partial withdrawal of the catheter so that the thermistor is not in the pulmonary
artery
• Removal of the catheter from the patient
When the system is properly connected, touch the start monitoring icon to begin CO monitoring. The
CO countdown timer will appear on the stop monitoring icon. After approximately 3 to 6 minutes, when
sufficient data has been obtained, a CO value will appear in the parameter globe. The CO value displayed on
the screen will be updated approximately every 60 seconds.
