4.1.1 Continuous Cardiac Output Monitoring
11 Attach the thermistor  and thermal filament  Swan-Ganz CCO catheter connections
(figure 4-1) to the patient CCO cable.
12 Verify that the catheter is properly inserted into the patient.
13 Touch the start monitoring icon . A countdown clock will appear on the stop monitoring
icon to indicate the time until the first CO value. After approximately 3 to 6 minutes, when
sufficient data has been obtained, a CO value will appear in the parameter globe.
14 The time until the next CO measurement is displayed on the information bar. For longer time
spans between calculations, select STAT CO (sCO) as a key parameter. sCO is a fast estimate of
the CO value.
15 Touch the stop monitoring icon to stop CO monitoring.
4.1.2 Intermittent Cardiac Output Monitoring
Follow steps 1-10 at the start of section 4.1 before proceeding.
11 Attach the Swan-Ganz catheter thermistor connection (, figure 4-1) to the patient CCO cable.
12 Connect the injectate temperature probe to the injectate temperature probe connector  on the
patient CCO cable. The injectate system type (in-line or bath) is automatically detected.
13 Touch clinical actions icon  iCO icon .
14 Select the following settings on the new set configuration screen:
• Injectate Volume: 10 mL, 5 mL, or 3 mL (bath type probe only)
• Catheter Size: 5.5F, 6F, 7F, 7.5F, or 8F
• Comp Constant: Auto, or keypad appears for manual entry when selected
NOTE The computation constant is automatically calculated according to injectate system
type, injectate volume and catheter size. If the computation constant is manually
entered, the injectate volume and catheter size selections are set to Auto.
• Bolus Mode: Auto or Manual
15 Touch the Start Set button.
16 If in automatic bolus mode, Wait appears highlighted ( ) until the thermal baseline is
achieved. If in manual bolus mode, Ready ( ) will appear highlighted when the thermal
baseline is achieved. Touch the Inject button first to start the bolus procedure.
17 When Inject becomes highlighted ( ), use a rapid, smooth, continuous method to inject
the bolus with the volume amount previously selected.
18 Computing is highlighted ( ) and then the resultant iCO measurement is displayed.
19 Repeat steps 14-16 up to six times as desired.
20 Touch the Review button and if necessary, edit the bolus series.
